I've modified Hanselman's MVC 1 example to test ASP.Net MVC 2 model binders...

[Test]
public void Date_Can_Be_Pulled_Via_Provided_Month_Day_Year()
{
    // Arrange
    var formCollection = new NameValueCollection { 
        { "foo.month", "2" },
        { "foo.day", "12" },
        { "foo.year", "1964" }
    };

    var valueProvider = new NameValueCollectionValueProvider(formCollection, null);
    var modelMetadata = ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(null, typeof(FwpUser));

    var bindingContext = new ModelBindingContext
    {
        ModelName = "foo",
        ValueProvider = valueProvider,
        ModelMetadata = modelMetadata
    };

    DateAndTimeModelBinder b = new DateAndTimeModelBinder { Month = "month", Day = "day", Year = "year" };
    ControllerContext controllerContext = new ControllerContext();

    // Act
    DateTime result = (DateTime)b.BindModel(controllerContext, bindingContext);

    // Assert
    Assert.AreEqual(DateTime.Parse("1964-02-12 12:00:00 am"), result);
}
