MVC 4 Custom template for bool (razor)

Question

I am using the twitter bootstrap framework, so to get the EditorFor and DisplayFor methods to output what I need, I created custom templates for each of the types like string, t

I would not do it that way. If the value can be null, I would make sure that your editor template has nullable boolean as the model type. So your editor template (in Views\Shared\EditorTemplates\Boolean.cshtml) would be:

@model Boolean?

@Html.CheckBox("", Model.HasValue && Model.Value)

And then in the razor of your main view, you could have:

    

        
            @Html.EditorFor(m => m, new {@class = "checkbox"})
            @Html.LabelFor(m => m)
