Precision

Synopsis

byte precision = Parameter.Precision;

Parameter.Precision = precision;

Determines the maximum number of digits that represents the Value property, assuming it is a numeric type. For example, the number 1234.56 has a precision of 6. The default precision is 0, which indicates no maximum.

Note

You don’t need to set the Precision property. The primary reason to set Precision is to ensure you don’t accidentally submit a number that has a higher precision than allowed by the data source. In SQL Server, you can set a precision for all decimal data types when creating a table.
