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

For some reason Andrew method of creating the checkbox by hand didn't work for me using Mvc 5. Instead I used this

@Html.CheckBox("checkResp")

to create a checkbox that would play nice with the controller.

Answer 2

 public ActionResult Save(Director director)
        {
          // IsActive my model property same name give in cshtml
//IsActive <input type="checkbox" id="IsActive" checked="checked" value="true" name="IsActive" 
            if(ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                DirectorVM ODirectorVM = new DirectorVM();
                ODirectorVM.SaveData(director);
                return RedirectToAction("Display");
            }
            return RedirectToAction("Add");
        }

Answer 3

<form action="Save" method="post">
 IsActive <input type="checkbox" id="IsActive" checked="checked" value="true" name="IsActive"  />

 </form>

 public ActionResult Save(Director director)
        {
                   // IsValid is my Director prop same name give    
            if(ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                DirectorVM ODirectorVM = new DirectorVM();
                ODirectorVM.SaveData(director);
                return RedirectToAction("Display");
            }
            return RedirectToAction("Add");
        }

Answer 4

For the MVC Controller method, use a nullable boolean type:

public ActionResult Index( string responsables, bool? checkResp) { etc. }

Then if the check box is checked, checkResp will be true. If not, it will be null.

Answer 5

try using form collection

<input id="responsable" value="True" name="checkResp" type="checkbox" /> 

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(FormCollection collection)
{
     if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(collection["checkResp"])
     {
        string checkResp=collection["checkResp"];
        bool checkRespB=Convert.ToBoolean(checkResp);
     }

}

Answer 6

set value in check box like this :

<input id="responsable" name="checkResp" value="true" type="checkbox" />

change checkResp to nullable property in Your model like this :

public Nullable<bool> checkResp{ get; set; }

use ? before checkResp like :

public ActionResult Index( string responsables, bool ? checkResp)
{
 ......
}
