title: ASP.Net MVC model binding - how to change date format?
body: <p>I have this application, and the default date format must be <code>dd/MM/yyyy</code> (the language is Brazilian Portuguese).</p>
  
  <p>I already had set culture and UI culture to <code>pt-BR</code> and now <code>myDate.ToShortDateString()</code> returns the dates as I want. I have no trouble displaying them.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is, when the user fills an input field with a date such as <code>17/08/2011</code> and submits the form the DateTime parameter to my action becomes null. If I supply a date in the format <code>08/17/2011</code>, it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>How can I make the ASP.Net MVC model binding to parse my dates correctly?</p>
