I had this problem: Multiple checkboxes in razor (using foreach)
I tried its solution. And it doesn't work for me. So hopefully you guys can help.
My View:
@for(int i = 0; i < Model.Messages.Count; i++)
{
<tr>
<td>
@using (Html.BeginForm("UpdateMessage", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.CheckBoxFor(x => Model.Messages[i].Activated, new {onchange = "this.form.submit();"});
@Html.HiddenFor(x => x.Messages[i].Text);
}
</td>
<td>@Model.Messages[i].Text</td>
<td><button>Delete</button></td>
</tr>
}
Messages is a List of Message which has:
public string Text { get; set; }
public bool Activated { get; set; }
Controller POST method:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UpdateMessage(Domain.Entities.Message message)
{
repository.UpdateMessage(message);
return RedirectToAction("Settings_Message", "Home");
}
So I get a false bool and an empty string. Why?
You can use the following code for this. It will work.
@using (Html.BeginForm("UpdateMessage", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.CheckBox("Activated", Model.Messages[i].Activated, new { onchange = "this.form.submit();" });
@Html.Hidden("Text", Model.Messages[i].Text);
}
