Make a checkbox checked or unchecked based on the value?

Question

How can we make a checkbox checked or unchecked programatically based on the value? That is to say, for a particular user if the value is true, the checkbox should be checke

If you do not want to use @Html.CheckBoxFor for whatever reason and you'd like to stick to

then this is what I found to be the best way to do it:

The code that @Yasser provided above:

    checked="@(required ? "checked" : "")"

Did not work for me because it was still adding the checked attribute to the element, and setting checked="" will still render the check box as checked, which was not the desired output, instead if you wrap the whole statement into a razor block like so:

     @(Convert.ToBoolean(Model.YourPropertyHere) == true ?   "checked='checked'" : string.Empty)

you will get the desired results.
