Answer 1

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction with this post. I was struggling to get the syntax right for binding a non-sequential IDictionary object. Not sure this is 100% correct, but this Razor code worked for me:

@Html.CheckBox(name: "MyDictionary[ABC].Value", isChecked: Model.MyDictionary["ABC"], htmlAttributes: null)

If you need a checkbox, be sure to use Html.CheckBox instead of a standard HTML checkbox. The model will blow up if a value is not provided, and Html.CheckBox generates a hidden field to ensure a value is present when the checkbox is not checked.
