Problem with double values binding

问题:

In my project I want to allow users input double values in 2 formats: with using ',' or '.' as delimiter (I'm not interested in exponential form). By default value with delimiter '.' don't work. I want this behavior works for all double properties in complex model objects (currently I work with collections of objects, that contains identifiers and values).

What i should use: Value Providers or Model Binders? Please, show code example of solving my problem.

You could use a custom model binder:

public class DoubleModelBinder : DefaultModelBinder
{
    public override object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
    {
        var result = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(bindingContext.ModelName);
        if (result != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(result.AttemptedValue))
        {
            if (bindingContext.ModelType == typeof(double))
            {
                double temp;
                var attempted = result.AttemptedValue.Replace(",", ".");
                if (double.TryParse(
                    attempted,
                    NumberStyles.Number,
                    CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
                    out temp)
                )
                {
                    return temp;
                }
            }
        }
        return base.BindModel(controllerContext, bindingContext);
    }
}

which could be registered in Application_Start:

ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(double), new DoubleModelBinder());
