How do I bind a model during an action?

I have a dynamic url processor

public ActionResult DynamicUrl(string slug = null)

this method works via slug (btw what does slug stand mean?) and works if the slug displays a product or searches for a product.

As part of a product search, I have a page = 1 querystring parameter.

E.g. /Womens/Dresses?page=2

I used to do this in a normal product search activity that associates a page request with the ProductSearch model.

public ActionResult Results(ProductSearchModel  searchModel)

How to bind a query string during an action? for example

public ActionResult DynamicUrl(string slug = null)
{
    ProductSearchModel psm = new ProductSearchModel();

    //Auto bind psm here.
    // E.g. Controller.BindModel(psm);
}

Hope I disagree with this.

Do you mean:

UpdateModel(psm);

This will bind the current collection of forms to the specified model.



You can also use:

TryUpdateModel(psm);

This version won't throw an exception if something doesn't work, and returns true

or false

.
