title: How to start an ID value from a set number with ASP mvc 4 model class
body: <p>I want to create a class where the ID value can start from 8000 so that it wont conflict with any other IDs from other tables/models.
  <strong>Here's my model</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Employee
  {
  
      [Required]
      [Range(8000,10000)]        
      public long Id { get; set; }
  
      [Required]
      [DataType(DataType.Text)]
      [Display(Name = "First Name")]
      public string FirstName { get; set; }
  
      [Required]
      [DataType(DataType.Text)]
      [Display(Name = "Last Name")]
      public string LastName { get; set; }
  
      [Required]
      [DataType(DataType.PhoneNumber)]
      [Display(Name = "Phone ")]
      public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
  
      public virtual Address Address { get; set; }        
  
      [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
      [Display(Name = "E-mail")]
      public string Email { get; set; }
  
      [DataType(DataType.Date)]        
      [Display(Name = "Date of Birth", Prompt="MM/DD/YYYY")]                
      public DateTime dateOfBirth { get; set; }
  
      public virtual IEnumerable&lt;Availability&gt; availability {get;set;} 
  }
  </code></pre>
