How to add boolean required attribute in mvc?

Question

I have one model class like:

public class Student {     [DataType(DataType.Date)]     [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]     [Display(Name = "Enrollment Date")]     public DateTime EnrollmentDate { get; set; }      [Required]     [Display(Name = "Is Active")]     public bool IsActive { get; set; }      public virtual ICollection<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; } } 

Here I have created a Boolean property IsActive with Required attribute, but the problem is that my view is not executing the required validation for this property? I want to bind this property with a CheckBox and check if this CheckBox is checked and run validation if it is not.

Any solution for this?

[Display(Name = "Is Active")] [Range(typeof(bool), "true", "true", ErrorMessage="The field Is Active must be checked.")] public bool IsActive { get; set; }
