Question

I have View Model with inner ViewModel Address propery.

public class CommonViewModel{

public AddressViewModel PreviouslyAddress { get; set; }

}

And Address:

 [Serializable]
    public class AddressViewModel 
    {
        public string Address1 { get; set; }

        public string Address2 { get; set; }

        public string City { get; set; }

        public string Prefix { get; set; }

        public string ZipCode { get; set; }
}

I want to serialize it, and get deseriliazed on POST.

I use:

@Html.Serialize("PreviouslyAddress", Model.PreviouslyAddress)

But in all examples they use Attribute DeserializeAttribute which can be implemented only in method parameters.

Example enter link description here

How can I do it without create custom bunding and send part of my model as parameter.

    [HttpPost]              
public ActionResult Register([DeserializeAttribute] AddressViewModel user, FormCollection userForm)
{
    TryUpdateModel(user, userForm.ToValueProvider());

For example, if it is possible I want something like this:

[HttpPost]              
public ActionResult Register(CommonViewModel model)
{
    TryUpdateModel(user, userForm.ToValueProvider());

 public class CommonViewModel{

        [DeserializeAttribute]
        public AddressViewModel PreviouslyAddress { get; set; }

        }

You could use the MvcSerializer class to deserialize manually some string back into a model:

var serializer = new MvcSerializer();
var value = Request["previouslyAddress"]; // this is the contents of the hidden field
var address = (AddressViewModel)serializer.Deserialize(value, SerializationMode.Signed);
