Razor how to create a CheckBox and make it READONLY?

Question

I'm using MVC 3 and Razor

At the moment I'm using

@model MyProject.ViewModels.MyViewModel      @foreach (var item in Model.MyProperty) {       <tr>         <td>             @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.AdvSlotId }) |             @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.AdvSlotId }) |             @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = item.AdvSlotId })         </td>         <td>             @item.AdvSlotId         </td>         <td>             @item.Name         </td>         <td>             @item.Description         </td>         <td>              @Html.CheckBox(item.IsPublished, new { @disabled = "disabled" })         </td>         <td>             @item.Notes         </td>     </tr>     } 

The VIEW MODEL:

namespace MyProject.ViewModels {     public class MyViewModel     {         public MyViewModel(List<AdvSlot> advSlots)         {             MyProperty= advSlots;         }          public List<AdvSlot> MyProperty { get; set; }      } } 

To display a Check Box for a property in my Model. As I'm doing is wrong so I can only display a text like TRUE.

Could you please tell me how to create the CheckBox with Razor? I would also need have it as READONLY.

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Should be something like this:

@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.IsPublished, new { @disabled = "disabled" }) 

UPDATE:

Assuming that your class AdvSlot contains a property IsPublished you can write in your loop:

<td>     @Html.CheckBox(item.AdvSlotId + "_IsPublished", item.IsPublished, new { @disabled = "disabled" }); </td>  

Answer 2

 @Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.IsActive, new { onclick = "return false" }) 

This should work. However i got a problem with @disabled = "disabled". If i make the checkbox checked by default and make the checkbox disabled at the same time it wont post with its value. At controller it will get false. Using "return false" user wont able to change the value and it will also post the value which has set on load as by default.
