Fix misleading Context.Bind documentation comment#2821
Open
Conversation
Addresses issue #2382 by correcting the confusing comment on Context.Bind that did not accurately describe the actual binding behavior. **Problem:** The previous comment said "Bind binds path params, query params and the request body" which was incomplete and misleading because: - It didn't explain the binding ORDER (path → query → body) - It didn't mention that later steps can OVERRIDE earlier values - It didn't specify that query params are only bound for GET/DELETE/HEAD - It didn't reference single-source binding methods **Solution:** Updated the comment to clearly explain: - The exact binding order (1) path params, 2) query params, 3) body) - Override behavior between steps - HTTP method-specific behavior for query params - References to single-source binding methods - Content-Type handling for body binding This prevents confusion for developers who might expect different behavior from Context.Bind() based on the previous misleading documentation.
