ASP.NET MVC 3 ValidateRequest(false) not working with FormCollection

Question

FYI I am using .NET 4.0 / MVC 3.

In my controller, the following is my code:

[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ViewResult Edit(ContentTemplate

If you are using custom model binders and [ValidateInput(false)] is not working then you might find a solution here: http://blogs.taiga.nl/martijn/2011/09/29/custom-model-binders-and-request-validation/

I think I've solved my own riddle, with the help of this forum: http://forums.asp.net/p/1621677/4163625.aspx

I just modified my Controller so that it didn't accept the Controller, and instead grabbed the unvalidated form collection from the Request [with the help of System.Web.Helpers].

using System.Web.Helpers;

[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ViewResult Edit(ContentTemplateView contentTemplateView)
{
    FormCollection collection = new FormCollection(Request.Unvalidated.Form);

I just installed ASP.NET MVC 3 RC2, and this bug has been fixed. The following code works as expected now.

[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ViewResult Edit(FormCollection form)
{
}
