How to cast model field type to int in asp.net?

Question

ASP.NET

There is a model that arrives in the request body in json format.
Some providers send the field as an int, others as a string (but the string is also a number, that is, parsing will be 100% successful)

You can somehow specify in asp.net that the field should be converted to int if it came as a string, or is it In any case, you need to write your own ModelBinder?

Answer 1

so what's stopping you from using int parse?

Answer 2

If you use asp net core with Newtonsoft json, then by default such logic works there (I tried to turn it off myself, but I couldn’t)
There seems to be a separate option in System.Text.Json to enable / disable such logic, but this should be looked at in the documentation .
Well, you can always write your own converter
