How to set a CheckBox by default Checked in ASP.Net MVC

Question

I am using CheckBox in my ASP.Net MVC project,

i want to set checkBox by default checked,

My CheckBox is

@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.As, new { @checked = "checked" }) 

but its not working,,,,

Answer 1

In your controller action rendering the view you could set the As property of your model to true:

model.As = true; return View(model); 

and in your view simply:

@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.As); 

Now since the As property of the model is set to true, the CheckBoxFor helper will generate a checked checkbox.

Answer 2

Old question, but another "pure razor" answer would be:

@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.As, htmlAttributes: new { @checked = true} )
