【中文标题】继承类型的 WebApi 模型绑定【英文标题】:WebApi Model Binding For Inherited Types 【发布时间】:2013-03-09 01:37:45 【问题描述】:我希望在 WebApi 中处理继承类型的模型绑定,而我真正想做的是使用默认模型绑定来处理绑定(除了选择无法这样做的类型) ,但我缺少一些基本的东西。
所以说我有类型:
public abstract class ModuleVM
public abstract ModuleType ModuleType get;
public class ConcreteVM : ModuleVM
使用 MVC 控制器,我会做这样的事情:
public class ModuleMvcBinder : DefaultModelBinder
protected override object CreateModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext, Type modelType)
if (modelType == typeof(ModuleVM))
// Just hardcoding the type for simplicity
Type instantiationType = typeof(ConcreteVM);
var obj = Activator.CreateInstance(instantiationType);
bindingContext.ModelMetadata = ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(null, instantiationType);
bindingContext.ModelMetadata.Model = obj;
return obj;
return base.CreateModel(controllerContext, bindingContext, modelType);
[AttributeUsage( AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Enum | AttributeTargets.Interface | AttributeTargets.Parameter | AttributeTargets.Struct | AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)]
public class ModuleMvcBinderAttribute : CustomModelBinderAttribute
public override IModelBinder GetBinder()
return new ModuleMvcBinder();
然后使用控制器上的属性,一切都很好,我正在利用 DefaultModelBinder 进行实际工作,我基本上只是提供正确的对象实例化。
那么我该如何为 WebApi 版本做同样的事情呢?
如果我使用自定义模型绑定器(例如Error implementing a Custom Model Binder in Asp.Net Web API),我的问题是(我相信)在 BindModel 方法中,一旦实例化对象,我还没有找到使用“标准”http 绑定的好方法.正如其他帖子中所建议的那样,我可以专门针对 JSON (Deserialising Json to derived types in Asp.Net Web API) 或 XML (Getting my Custom Model bound to my POST controller) 执行此操作,但在我看来,这违背了这一点,因为 web api 应该将其分开,而且是 - 它只是没有知道如何确定类型。 (所有具体类型自然都处理得很好。)
我是否忽略了一些明显的事情,我应该在实例化对象后将 BindModel 调用定向到?
【问题讨论】:
你找到解决办法了吗? 【参考方案1】:以下是一个示例,其中我的类型具有继承性,并且在进行了一些设置(例如使用 Xml 格式化程序的 datacontractserializer 所需的 KnownType 属性进行装饰)和 Json 格式化程序上的 TypeNameHandling 设置之后,我们可以预期两个 xml/json 请求的行为一致。

【讨论】:
欣赏它 Kiran,这绝对是有用的代码。最终,虽然您不是使用 xml 和 json 序列化而不是模型绑定器吗? (Json 通过类型信息,很遗憾我无法添加,xml 通过 DataContract 属性。)我真的很想使用模型绑定器,因为我最终将无法装饰所有类型并且不能需要 JSON 上的类型信息。以上是关于继承类型的 WebApi 模型绑定的主要内容,如果未能解决你的问题,请参考以下文章
