Can I perform some processing on the POST data before ASP.NET MVC UpdateModel happens?

Instead of using the automatic model-binding in your action method's parameters, you could accept the posted FormCollection and work with that. You might be able to (1) modify the values in this special collection, then (2) bind your model manually, using UpdateModel TryUpdateModel .

I believe you can use a Custom Model Binder for this. Scott Hanselman has an article here that describes the process, using the concept of splitting a DateTime into two separate parts as an example.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
