How do i create a display template so i can display a bool as Yes or No not a checkbox? Using mvc3
<%: Html.DisplayFor(model => model.SomeBoolean)%>

DisplayFor() The DisplayFor() helper method is a strongly typed extension method. It generates a html string for the model object property specified using a lambda expression.
DisplayFor<TModel,TValue>(HtmlHelper<TModel>, Expression<Func<TModel,TValue>>, Object) Returns a string that contains each property value in the object that is represented by the specified expression, using additional view data. DisplayFor<TModel,TValue>(HtmlHelper<TModel>, Expression<Func<TModel,TValue>>)
I had to create something similar so it would display "Sim" and "Não" (portuguese Yes/No). I created the following file:
Views\Shared\DisplayTemplates\Boolean.ascx And added the following code:
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<dynamic>" %> <%= (bool) ViewData.Model ? "Sim" : "Não" %> Hope this helps!
EDIT Forgot, in your view, simply call it like so:
<%= Html.DisplayFor(i => item.Ativo) %> EDIT 2 For a nullable (bool?), try this:
<%= (ViewData.Model == null) ? "NA" : (ViewData.Model == true) ? "Y" : "N"%> EDIT 3 Using Razor syntax (Views\Shared\DisplayTemplates\Boolean.cshtml):
@{ Layout = null; } @(ViewData.Model ? "Sim" : "Não") If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
