ASP.Net MVC 3 bind string property as string.Empty instead of null

model is

public partial class BilingualString 
{ 
    public string RuString { get; set; } 
    public string EnString { get; set; } 
} 

public partial class Member 
{  
   public Member() 
   { 
       this.DisplayName = new BilingualString(); 
   } 
   public BilingualString DisplayName { get; set; } 
} 

if user don't fill inputs the values of RuString and EnString is null. I need string.Empty instead of null.

Using CustomModelBinder like this:

public class EmptyStringModelBinder : DefaultModelBinder 
{ 
    public override object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext) 
    { 
        bindingContext.ModelMetadata.ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false; 
        return base.BindModel(controllerContext, bindingContext); 
    } 
} 

don't help.
