What are some manual binding scenarios in ASP.NET?

Manual binding in ASP.NET allows developers to control how data is bound to models. Common scenarios include binding complex types, handling collections, and customizing model binding for specific needs.

Can you give an example of a complex type binding?

Sure! For instance, if you have a model with nested properties, you can manually bind them by specifying the prefix in the request data, like User.Name and User.Age.

How do I handle collections in manual binding?

You can handle collections by using a list in your model. For example, if you have a List<Item>, you can bind it by sending data like Items[0].Name, Items[1].Name, etc.

What if I need to customize the binding process?

You can create a custom model binder by implementing the IModelBinder interface, allowing you to define how the binding should occur based on your specific requirements.
