I have a type:
public class IssueForm
{
Order Order {get; set;}
Item Item {get; set;}
Range Range {get; set;}
}
I created a custom model binder due to requirements on Order and Item, but Range could still use the Default Model Binder.
Is there a way from within my custom model binder to call the default model binder to return a Range object? I think I just have to just setup ModelBindingContext correctly, but I don't know how.
EDIT
Looking at the first comment and answer -- it seems like inheriting from the default model binder could be useful.
To add more specifics for my setup so far I have:
public IssueFormModelBinder : IModelBinder
{
public object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
{
Order = //code to pull the OrderNumber from the context and create an Order
Item = //code to pull the ItemNumber from the context and create an Item
IssueForm form = IssueFormFactory.Create(Order, Item);
form.Range = // ** I'd like to replace my code with a call to the default binder **
return form
}
}
This might be a stupid way of doing it... this is my first model binder. Just pointing out my current implementation.
EDIT #2
So the answers to override BindProperty will work if I can hook into like a "I'm all done binding" method and call the Factory method with the properties.
I guess I really should look at the DefaultModelBinder implementation and quit being stupid.
override the BindProperty from the DefaultModelBinder:
public class CustomModelBinder:DefaultModelBinder
{
protected override void BindProperty( ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext, System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor )
{
if (propertyDescriptor.PropertyType == typeof(Range))
{
base.BindProperty(controllerContext, bindingContext, propertyDescriptor);
}
// bind the other properties here
}
}
