ASP.net and CustomModelBinder and a prefix

With the default ModelBinder and its attribute Bind we can set a prefix like this:

public ActionResult Save([Bind(Prefix="test")] Person p)) {

}

I have a CustomModelBinderAttribute which returns a bespoke ModelBinder:

public ActionResult Save([PersonBinderAttribute(Prefix="test2")] Person p)) {

}

How do I access the value of Prefix from within my bespoke model binder?

From stackoverflow

• I don't believe you can. I'd declare the prefix as a constant at the top of the Controller and just use that.

  private const string c_prefix = "test2";
  public ActionResult Save([PersonBinderAttribute(Prefix=c_prefix)] Person p)) {
      var prefix = c_prefix;
  }
  

  It is my understanding that anything you declare in the Attribute can only be used by the Attribute.

  ListenToRick : I can access the value in the controller! Its within the modelbinder I was stumped with. Its fairly easy to implement however - just add a prefix property to PersonBinderAttribute and then pass the value to the modelbinder as its created - however I was hoping that the framework natively supported prefix annotations for customer binders. It doesnt appear to.

  kim3er : I see where you are coming from. I actually did something similar yesterday with ActionFilterAttribute's, but didn't make the connection with your question.
