ASP.NET MVC Yes/No Radio Buttons with Strongly Bound Model MVC

Question

If you're using MVC 3 and Razor you can also use the following:

@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.blah, true) Yes
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.blah, false) No

The second parameter is selected, so use the ! to select the no value when the boolean is false.

<%= Html.RadioButton("blah", !Model.blah) %> Yes 
<%= Html.RadioButton("blah", Model.blah) %> No 

Here is a more complete example using a fieldset for accessibility reasons and specifying the first button as the default. Without a fieldset, what the radio buttons are for as a whole can not be programmatically determined.

Model

public class MyModel
{
    public bool IsMarried { get; set; }
}

View

<fieldset>
    <legend>Married</legend>

    @Html.RadioButtonFor(e => e.IsMarried, true, new { id = "married-true" })
    @Html.Label("married-true", "Yes")

    @Html.RadioButtonFor(e => e.IsMarried, false, new { id = "married-false" })
    @Html.Label("married-false", "No")
</fieldset>

You can add a @checked argument to the anonymous object to set the radio button as the default:

new { id = "married-true", @checked = 'checked' }

Note that you can bind to a string by replacing true and false with the string values.

Building slightly off Ben's answer, I added attributes for the ID so I could use labels.

<%: Html.Label("isBlahYes", "Yes")%><%= Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.blah, true, new { @id = "isBlahYes" })%>
<%: Html.Label("isBlahNo", "No")%><%= Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.blah, false, new { @id = "isBlahNo" })%>

I hope this helps.

Adding label tags around the radio buttons using regular HTML will fix the 'labelfor' issue as well:

<label><%= Html.RadioButton("blah", !Model.blah) %> Yes</label>
<label><%= Html.RadioButton("blah", Model.blah) %> No</label>

Clicking on the text now selects the appropriate radio button.

or MVC 2.0:

<%= Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.blah, true) %> Yes
<%= Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.blah, false) %> No
