Model binding is a powerful feature in ASP.NET Core MVC that automates the process of extracting data from various parts of an HTTP request (form data, route values, query strings) and converting it into strongly typed C# objects that you can use directly in your action methods.
When Model Binding Executes Model binding takes place after routing has determined which action method to invoke. The model binding system examines the parameters of the selected action method and tries to populate them with values from the incoming request.
Order of Model Binding ASP.NET Core model binding follows a specific order when looking for data sources: Form Data (POST requests): Values submitted through HTML forms. Route Data: Values extracted from the URL route template (e.g., /products/{id}). Query String: Values appended to the URL after a question mark (?).
Parts of Model Binding Form Data: Typically used for submitting data from HTML forms using POST requests. Route Data: Values captured from the URL segments defined in your route templates. Query String: Parameters passed in the URL after the question mark (?).
Query Strings in Detail Purpose: To pass parameters to your application through the URL. Syntax: ?key1=value1&key2=value2 (multiple key-value pairs separated by ampersands). Usage: Useful for filtering, sorting, and pagination. Example: /products?category=electronics&sort=price_desc
