In ASP.NET MVC, you can use the CheckBoxList
to create a list of checkboxes that allows users to select multiple items. However, please note that there is no built-in CheckBoxList
control in ASP.NET MVC like in ASP.NET Web Forms. You'll need to create your own implementation or use a third-party library to achieve this functionality.
Here's an example of how you can create a CheckBoxList
in ASP.NET MVC using a custom implementation:
- Create a ViewModel to represent the data for the checkboxes. For example:
public class CheckBoxViewModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Text { get; set; }
public bool IsChecked { get; set; }
}
- In your controller, populate a list of
CheckBoxViewModel
objects and pass it to the view. For example:
public ActionResult Index()
{
List<CheckBoxViewModel> checkBoxes = new List<CheckBoxViewModel>
{
new CheckBoxViewModel { Id = 1, Text = "Checkbox 1", IsChecked = false },
new CheckBoxViewModel { Id = 2, Text = "Checkbox 2", IsChecked = true },
// Add more checkboxes as needed
};
return View(checkBoxes);
}
- Create a view (
.cshtml
) to render theCheckBoxList
. For example:
@model List<CheckBoxViewModel>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
@Html.HiddenFor(m => m[i].Id)
<div>
@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m[i].IsChecked)
@Html.LabelFor(m => m[i].IsChecked, Model[i].Text)
</div>
}
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
}
- Handle the form submission in your controller action. For example:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(List<CheckBoxViewModel> model)
{
// Process the submitted checkboxes here
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
This is a basic example to get you started with a custom implementation of CheckBoxList
in ASP.NET MVC. Keep in mind that you might need to enhance this implementation based on your specific requirements. Alternatively, you can explore third-party libraries or extensions that provide a pre-built CheckBoxList
control for ASP.NET MVC.

Thanks. The checkboxlist was just what I needed.
