IModelBinder and property key for successful binding at the ModelState + partial form validation

I’m talking about asp.net MVC2 The point: if you are implementing an IModelBinder for a type, you should add a call to bindingContext.ModelState.SetModelValue(bindingContext.ModelName, valueFromRequest); this is done to make sure that at your controller action you can access ModelState[ nameOfThisProperty ] and nameOfThisProperty   will be present as a key at ModelState also for successful binding.   And for the details: (  Partial form validation including custom modelBinding ...

How to change ASP.NET MVC 2 default folder structure in Visual studio 2010 Beta 2

החלטנו בצוות לכתוב את המערכת החדשה ב MVC 2 (נשבר כבר מזמן מ web Forms). מבנה הספריות הדיפולטי לא מתאים לנו - לוגית האפליקציה שלנו מחולקת לשני תחומים עיקריים, לכן רצינו פיצול של הקוד, בעיקר מטעמי תחזוקה. ב web Forms היינו יוצרים שתי ספריות ומתחת לכל ספריה היו נמצאים הקבצים הרלוונטים אליה. ב MVC 2 התווסף הפיצ'ר Areas, או יותר נכון single-project area (בגרסא הסופית של MVC 2 לא ישוחרר הפיצ'ר של פיזור areas בפרוייקטים שונים, אבל מי צריך את זה בכלל)- הכוונה - הוספת ספריה בשם Areas ב root של הפרוייקט...
