model-binding

I have a method in my controller that accepts an object as an argument and returns a JsonResult . One of the properties on this object is an enum with three possible values. I assumed that when the client passed in an int for that property it would populate the enum, but it doesn't, it defaults to 0 and the enum is set to the first of it's possible selections. Any suggestions? Chev NOTE: This has been resolved in MVC 4. If upgrading to MVC 4 is a viable option for your project then that is all you have to do in order to begin model-binding to enums. That said, here is the workaround for MVC 3

I'm following [Getting started with ASP.NET MVC 3][1]. And I can't add/edit with value of Price = 9.99 or 9,99. It said: "The value '9.99' is not valid for Price." and "The field Price must be a number." How to fix this? Model: public class Movie { public int ID { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; } public string Genre { get; set; } public decimal Price { get; set; } } public class MovieDbContext : DbContext { public DbSet<Movie> Movies { get; set; } } Controller: public class MovieController : Controller { private MovieDbContext db = new

I am looking for a good resource that describes very thoroughly how model binding works with ASP.NET MVC 3 (or to a lesser extent, MVC 2) and different approaches. I have not been able to find any good resources on this topic, except bits and pieces there. The information on the net is more about "how to do X" than explaining how the internals of model binding work. Any recommendations? Book recommendations are fine as well. Take a look: ASP.NET MVC Model Binding - Part1 and Part2 http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/AspNetMVCModelBinding.aspx http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet

I have a tab page with multiple tabs that once clicked on call a service to return some data. Some of that data returns html forms and are very random. I want to collect those values that are entered and send the data via a service back to the server. The problem I have is that I can't get the data from the input elements in the html I'm creating dynamically. I've created a Plunker to show what the issue is. Note that the html value can change at any time so hard-coding the html won't work. Here the code from the plunker, but please look at the plunker for the best view of whats going on. app

I have the following controller action: [HttpPost] public ViewResult DoSomething(MyModel model) { // do something return View(); } Where MyModel looks like this: public class MyModel { public string PropertyA {get; set;} public IList<int> PropertyB {get; set;} } So DefaultModelBinder should bind this without a problem. The only thing is that I want to use special/custom binder for binding PropertyB and I also want to reuse this binder. So I thought that solution would be to put a ModelBinder attribute before the PropertyB which of course doesn't work (ModelBinder attribute is not allowed on a
