In MVC 6, how to code checkbox list in view and pass the checked values to the controller?

Question

Sorry but most of my searches take me to old MVC codes. Any help will be appreciated.

In MVC 6 with tag helpers, how do you code a set of checkboxes:

Answer 1

This is finally what I did to make it to work. I am not sure if this is the best way to do it. I had to still use the html helpers because the tag helpers do not work.

Model:

public List PhoneOptions { get; set; }
. . .
PhoneOptions = repository.GetPhoneOptions().ToList();

View:

@if (@Model.PhoneOptions != null && @Model.PhoneOptions.Count() > 0)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < @Model.PhoneOptions.Count(); i++)
    {
        

            
            @Model.PhoneOptions[i].OptionName

            @*If these are not included, all OptionIds become 0 and all OptionName becomes null*@
            @Html.HiddenFor(x => @Model.PhoneOptions[i].OptionId)
            @Html.HiddenFor(y => @Model.PhoneOptions[i].OptionName)
        
    }    
}

I hope this helps someone else who is having the same checkbox list issues.

UPDATE: I've updated the html helpers to tag helpers above.
