@helper Radio(bool? buttonValue, string buttonLabel, string buttonId)
{
    Dictionary attrs = new Dictionary(); 

    // Unique button id
    string id = ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId("") + buttonId;

    attrs.Add("id", id);

    // Check the active button
    if (Model == buttonValue)
    {
        attrs.Add("checked", "checked");
    }

    @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m, buttonValue, attrs) @buttonLabel
}
