Using ModelBinder attribute vs. ModelBinders.Add()

Question

Can someone tell me the pros/concs to using [ModelBinder()] attribute vs. registering model binders via ModelBinders.Add() in global.asax?

Answer 1

It looks to me like the advantage of using an attribute rather than adding to the model binders collection in Global.asax is that you can tell the method (or class) which specific binder to use rather than associating the binder with a specific type. Then you can create the model based on a context rather than a type.
