Custom Model Binder inheriting from DefaultModelBinder

Question

I\'m attempting to build a custom model binder for MVC 4 that will inherit from DefaultModelBinder. I\'d like it to intercept any interfaces at any bin

Answer 1

This article showed me that I was over-complicating the model binder. The following code works:

public class InterfaceModelBinder : DefaultModelBinder
{
    public override object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
    {
        if (bindingContext.ModelType.IsInterface)
        {
            Type desiredType = Type.GetType(
                EncryptionService.Decrypt(
                    (string)bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue("AssemblyQualifiedName").ConvertTo(typeof(string))));
            bindingContext.ModelMetadata = ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(null, desiredType);
        }

        return base.BindModel(controllerContext, bindingContext);
    }
}
