ho scritto soluzione puramente dichiarativa con possibilità di specificare campo discriminatore personalizzato, e fornire il nome ambito gestione per classe base (al contrario di usicure globali JsonSerializationSettings, specialmente su diversi Web-Api quando non abbiamo la possibilità di specificare JsonSerializationSettings personalizzate).

Non so quale sia la situazione era in 2012, ma credo ora è meglio ereditare da DefaultSerializationBinder e ricorrere alle implementazioni di base, perché in questo modo è possibile trarre vantaggio dalla sua implementazione precisa. –
