How to bind a prefix to a complex model?

Question

I'm trying to bind a prefix to a complex type... any idea how?

e.g.

instead of this...

public ActionResult Index([Bind(Prefix = "ids[]")] IList<long> ids)
{
...
}

i want to

public ActionResult Index(ComplexModel model)
{
...
}

where the model is something like

public class ComplexModel
{
    [Bind(Prefix = "ids[]")]  // <----- this is not allowed
    public IList<long> ids { get; set;}
}

Any idea how?

Thanks.

Have a look at this blog post from Scott Hanselman.

It describes in detail how to bind these types of lists.
