✅ Difference between [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)] and [EmailAddress] data annotations?
Can anyone let me know what's the difference between [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)] and [EmailAddress] data annotations? Using the former alone is not validating the email field so what's it's purpose? Thanks

the former is mainly for formatting purposes and will not trigger server side validation
only
[EmailAddress] will trigger server side model validationcould you pls elaborate what do you mean by formatting?
