There are 2 IModelBinder interfaces:

1. System.Web.Mvc.IModelBinder which is the same as in previous versions and hasn't changed
2. System.Web.Http.ModelBinding.IModelBinder which is used by the Web API and the ApiController. So basically inside this method you must set the actionContext.ActionArguments to the corresponding values. You no longer return a model instance.
