Question

I\'m attempting to find the correct Razor syntax for mutually exclusive radio buttons that both reflect the value of a boolean property on my model. My model has this:

Answer 1

Try like this:

@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.IsFemale, "false") Male
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.IsFemale, "true") Female

And here's the full code:

Model:

public class MyViewModel
{
    public bool IsFemale { get; set; }
}

Controller:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(new MyViewModel
        {
            IsFemale = true
        });
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(MyViewModel model)
    {
        return Content("IsFemale: " + model.IsFemale);
    }
}

View:

@model MyViewModel

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.IsFemale, "false", new { id = "male" }) 
    @Html.Label("male", "Male")

    @Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.IsFemale, "true", new { id = "female" })
    @Html.Label("female", "Female")
    OK
}
