Choosing object binder in action signature
Question
I have a custom model binder to get data from session, but I also would like to use the default binder from time to time.
Is it possible to choose model binder in action signature instead of using UpdateModel?
Example
public ViewResult MyAction(Cart useSessionBinder, Cart useFormData)
{}
Thanks
Solution
You could use the [ModelBinder]
attribute:
public ActionResult MyAction(
[ModelBinder(typeof(MyCustomModelBinder))] Cart useSessionBinder,
Cart useFormData
)
{
...
}
Obviously you should have not assigned globally your custom model binder to the Cart
class in your Application_Start
, otherwise it will automatically apply to all instances of Cart
appearing as action parameters.
OTHER TIPS
Well, you can keep global custom model binder in Appliaction_Start, to let it work everywhere, and reset back to default binder from time to time, when needed
public ActionResult MyAction(
[ModelBinder(typeof(DefaultModelBinder))] Cart useFormData)
