Title Body

I am new using custom ModelBinders, I have been looking around and I couldn't find any post related to this specific case. I have an entity like: public class DynamicData { public IList<DynamicDataItem> DynamicDataItems{get;set;} } In the View i bind it like follows: @Html.EditorFor(model => model.DynamicDataItems); I have special information in the class DynamicDataItems, that I would like to retrieve in a specific way, so I created my own Model Binder. public class DynamicDataItemBinder : IModelBinder { public object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext) { var key = bindingContext.ModelName; var valueProviderResult = bindingContext.ValueProvider .GetValue(key); if (valueProviderResult == null || string.IsNullOrEmpty(valueProviderResult .AttemptedValue)) { return null; } //Here retrieve my own Information return DynamicDataItem; } } The bindingContext.ModelName contains "DynamicDataItem[0]". If I do bindingContext.ValueProvider.ContainsPrefix(key), it returns true, but when I do GetValue(key), it returns null. If I inspect what the ValueProvider contains, I see that there is several items with their Key Starting in "DynamicDataItem[0]". How Am I supossed to retrieve the information from all the fields for the Item that is being binded currently ("DynamicDataItem[0]")? Should I retrieve them all one by one? Like this: var result1= bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue("DynamicDataItem[0].Id"); var result2= bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue("DynamicDataItem[0].Name"); I will greatly appreciate any guidance you can give me with this.
