The difference between IModelBinder and IModelBinderProvider asp.net mvc 3

Question

The question is simple: when should I implement IModelBinder and when IModelBinderProvider?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

IModelBinderProvider is a factory that supplies IModelBinder implementations. For simple cases where a type always uses the same model binder you just need to use IModelBinder. You would implement IModelBinderProvider for more complex cases where you need to dynamically determine which model binder to use.

Jimmy Bogard and Brad Wilson explain it better than I can.
