ASP.NET MVC4 Model Binding

Question

Does anyone know when model binding takes place in the request lifecycle? The reason I ask is that I'm running into some localization issues.

Does Model Binding happen before OnActionExecuting is executed?

Currently I set the current culture in a global action filters OnActionExecuting method but this isn't being respected when performing model binding. The request is a POST.

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest you to set the culture at a very earlier point not in action filter. In my current project I've set the culture in the Application_AcquireRequestState event in Global.asax.cs. You can try that.

protected void Application_AcquireRequestState(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   // set the culture
}
