how to use radiobuttonlist in mvc4

Question

I need to create a simple radio button list selection to choose from the following values:

• Agree
• Disagree
• Not sure

How would we add it in the following razor view? Is it better to create an enum of these values in the QuestionModel and use foreach to bind with html helper.

Any example or ideas?

@model Survey.Models.Question

@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", new { QuestionId = Model.QuestionId }))
{
    <h2>Survey</h2>
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Please Choose</legend>
        <p>
            Question ID:
            @Model.QuestionId
        </p>
        <p>
            Description:
            @Model.Description
        </p>

        <input type="submit" value="Next" id="submitButton" />
    </fieldset>

}

Answer 1

Using the ASP.NET Html Helpers, there are three various methods you can use for each of the different helpers supplied for radio buttons.

Method 1

A simple way to make a radio button list:

<div>
    <label>
        @Html.RadioButton("Answer", "Agree")
        Agree
    </label>
</div>
<div>
    <label>
        @Html.RadioButton("Answer", "Disagree")
        Disagree
    </label>
</div>
<div>
    <label>
        @Html.RadioButton("Answer", "Not Sure")
        Not Sure
    </label>
</div> 

Method 2

The above code will post the checked value with a name of "Answer" to the server when you click Submit. If you would like to make this strongly typed, as you did with Model.QuestionId and Model.Description, you could add a Answer property to your model and do the following:

<div>
    <label>
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Answer, "Agree")
        Agree
    </label>
</div>
<div>
    <label>
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Answer, "Disagree")
        Disagree
    </label>
</div>
<div>
    <label>
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Answer, "Not Sure")
        Not Sure
    </label>
</div>

Method 3

Finally, if you would like to get fancy, you can use an enum. Place the following in your controller:

public enum AnswerType {
    Agree,
    Disagree,
    NotSure
}

Next, add the property to your model:

public AnswerType AnswerType { get; set; }

And then add the following to your view:

@Html.RadioButtonForEnum(m => m.AnswerType)

Hope this helps!

   @using (Html.BeginForm())
   {
   foreach (var department in Model.Departments)
    {
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedDepartment, department.Id) @department.Name
     }
