Pass values of checkBox to controller action in asp.net mvc4

Question

I want to test if the checkbox is checked or not from my action method, what i need is to pass checkbox value from view to controller.

This is my view:

Answer 1

I hope this somewhat helps.

Create a viewmodel for your view. This will represent the true or false (checked or unchecked) values of your checkboxes.

public class UsersViewModel
{
    public bool IsAdmin { get; set; }
    public bool ManageFiles { get; set; }
    public bool ManageNews { get; set; }
}

Next, create your controller and have it pass the view model to your view.

public IActionResult Users()
{
     var viewModel = new UsersViewModel();
     return View(viewModel);
}

Lastly, create your view and reference your view model. Use @Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x) to display checkboxes and hold their values.

@model Website.Models.UsersViewModel

    @Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.IsAdmin)
    
           Admin
    

          

When you post/save data from your view, the view model will contain the values of the checkboxes. Be sure to include the viewmodel as a parameter in the method/controller that is called to save your data.

I hope this makes sense and helps. This is my first answer, so apologies if lacking.
