How to set bootstrap checkbox in razor CheckBoxFor()

Question

I want to use bootstrap styled checkbox in my asp .net mvc form, however I find it very difficult. After hours looking for solution, I couldn\'t find anything that works for

Answer 1

Under mvc a true/false checkbox based on the model value (boolean) also has a hidden field with the same name (supposedly to cater for when you don't check the box you still get a value in the Forms collection)

Its this hidden field that stops the checkbox working in bootstrap format. A bootstrap styled checkbox from what I can see will never display properly under mvc using @Html.CheckBoxFor

This is what i did to get it working

        

            
            any label you like
        

Unfortunately the model isn't updated when you post the form and you have to handle that in the HttpPost'ed action
