Checkbox postback in Html.Grid

Question

I have a grid which is by an IList:

@Html.Grid(Model.ExampleList).Columns(c =>
{
    c.For(a => string.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", a.DateRequested)).Named("Date Requested");
    c.For(a => a.Comment).Named("Comment");
})

But i'd like to add a checkbox which would Post back to a controller. Something similar to this:

@using (Html.BeginForm("PostExample", "Home")) 
{
    <input type="hidden" name="SomeId" [email protected]/>
    <input type="hidden" name="AnotherId" value="AnotherId" />
    @Html.CheckBox("Complete", Model.Complete, new { onClick = "$(this).parent('form:first').submit();"
});

But I'm not sure how to combine them. What is the best way of doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Your question is very unclear. Where do you want to show this checkbox? On each row? Dependent on some value of your model? If yes, then you could use a custom column, like this:

.Columns(c =>
{
    c.Custom(
        @<text>
            <form action="@Url.Action("PostExample", "Home")" method="post">
                <input type="hidden" name="SomeId" value="@ViewBag.SomeId" />
                <input type="hidden" name="AnotherId" value="AnotherId" />
                @Html.CheckBoxFor(x => item.Complete, new { onclick = "$(this).parent('form:first').submit();" })
            </form>
        </text>
    );
})
