Model Binding in ASP.NET MVC
Model binding is the magic in ASP.NET MVC that can bring together information in an HTTP request with the model objects you manipulate in code. Once you know how to take advantage of model binding and custom model binding you値l write less code (and cleaner code) in the rest of your application.

We値l explore the recursive nature of model binding, build custom model binders, and look at some of the subtleties and magic you should avoid (or utilize) in your application.
