How to validate my model in a custom model binder?

Question

I asked about an issue I have with comma delimited numeric values here.

Given some of the replies, I attempted to try to implement my own model binder as follows:

I got your validation to work fine by changing when BindModel fires. In your code, you have these lines in PropertyModelBinder:

object o = base.BindModel(controllerContext, newBindingContext);
newBindingContext.ModelState.Remove("Price");
newBindingContext.ModelState.Add("Price", new ModelState());
newBindingContext.ModelState.SetModelValue("Price", new ValueProviderResult(price, price, null));
return o;

I moved base.BindModel to fire immediately before returning the object (after reconstructing context) and now validation works as expected. Here is the new code:

newBindingContext.ModelState.Remove("Price");
newBindingContext.ModelState.Add("Price", new ModelState());
newBindingContext.ModelState.SetModelValue("Price", new ValueProviderResult(price, price, null));
object o = base.BindModel(controllerContext, newBindingContext);
return o;
