I agree You can specify the binder on individual model members if you want to force a specific model binding.

Jimmy,

With the code above, any data that comes in to the method will be run through the XmlModelBinder. What if you have a method like:

public ActionResult Square(Int id, Payload payload){}How could you get it to only run the payload through the XmlModelBinder, but leave the id alone? I am trying to reuse your code to create a ProtobufModelBinder and it is trashing my ids when it tries to deserialize them.

You might consider using WCF Web API for this type of scenario. It has none of the config-hell that WCF is notorious for. You can easily add it to a “normal” MVC or straight ASP site. I used it for my most recent web service API and it pretty well solves all the places where MVC falls short. Glen and company are still working out a few kinks, but it’s pretty good already.

Just wanted to point out that I implemented this code but it did not work until I added inputStream.Position = 0; before Deserializing it in the Model Binder.

I believe you need to use a value provider instead of a model binder because the json value provider uses the same technique as a value provider.

The drawback of using this is technique is that it will bypass ASP.NET Request Validation. http://bit.ly/lkAIyb
