ASP.NET MVC datetime culture issue when passing value back to controller

Question

How can i tell my controller/model what kind of culture it should expect for parsing a datetime?

I was using some of this post to implement jquery d

Answer 1

Why not simply inspect the culture of the data and convert it as such? This simple approach allowed me to use strongly typed dates in models, show action links and edit fields in the desired locale and not have to fuss at all binding it back into a strongly typed DateTime:

public class DateTimeBinder : IModelBinder
{
    public object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
    {
        var value = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(bindingContext.ModelName);
        return value.ConvertTo(typeof(DateTime), value.Culture);
    }
}
