Bind Checkboxes to int array/enumerable in MVC

Question

@Html.CheckBox(\"orderNumbers\", new { value = 1 })
@Html.CheckBox(\"orderNumbers\", new { value = 2 })
@Html.CheckBox(\"orderNumbers\", new { value = 3 })
@Html.CheckBo         


        

Answer 1

Because thats how the provided CheckBoxFor helper is working.

You have to generate the html for the checkboxes yourself. Then the hidden inputs are not generated and you will get only the selected integer values.
