How do I set a checkbox in razor view?

Question

I need to check a checkbox by default:

I tried all of these, nothing is checking my checkbox -

@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.AllowRating, new { @value          


        

Answer 1

The syntax in your last line is correct.

 @Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.Test, new { @checked = "checked" })

That should definitely work. It is the correct syntax. If you have an existing model and AllowRating is set to true then MVC will add the checked attribute automatically. If AllowRating is set to false MVC won't add the attribute however if desired you can using the above syntax.
