Creating CheckBoxList In ASP.Net MVC

Introduction

In this article we will learn how to create  CheckBoxList  in  MVC  . So lets start with step by step.
Step 1 : Create an MVC Application.
Now let us start with a step by step approach from the creation of simple MVC application as in the following:
  1. "Start", then "All Programs" and select "Microsoft Visual Studio 2015".
  2. "File", then "New" and click "Project..." then select "ASP.NET Web Application Template", then provide the Project a name as you wish and click on OK . 
 Step 2 : Add Model class
Right click on model folder of created MVC application project and add  class named CheckBoxModel.cs
CheckBoxModel.cs
public class CheckBoxModel
    {
        public int Value { get; set; }
        public string Text { get; set; }
        public bool IsChecked { get; set; }
    }
    public class CheckBoxList
    {
        public List<CheckBoxModel> CheckBoxItems { get; set; }
    }
 Step 2 : Add Controller
Right click on Controllers folder of created MVC application and add Controller named HomeController.cs
 HomeController.cs
public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        // GET: Home
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            //Creating object of CheckBoxList model class
            CheckBoxList ChkItems = new CheckBoxList();
            //Additng items to the list
            List<CheckBoxModel> ChkItem = new List<CheckBoxModel>()
            {
              new CheckBoxModel {Value=1,Text="ASP.NET",IsChecked=true },
              new CheckBoxModel {Value=1,Text="C#",IsChecked=false },
              new CheckBoxModel {Value=1,Text="MVC",IsChecked=false },
              new CheckBoxModel {Value=1,Text="Web API" ,IsChecked=false},
              new CheckBoxModel {Value=1,Text="SignalR",IsChecked=false },
              new CheckBoxModel {Value=1,Text="SQL" ,IsChecked=false},
            };
            //assigning records to the CheckBoxItems list 
            ChkItems.CheckBoxItems = ChkItem;
            return View(ChkItems);
           
        }

    }
 Step 3: Add View
Right click on View folder of created MVC application project and add empty view named Index.cshtml. Now open the Index.cshtml view and write the following code into the view
@model BindCheckBoxListInMVC.Models.CheckBoxList
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "www.compilemode.com";
}
<div class="form-horizontal">
    <h4>Select your favourite Subjects</h4>
        @foreach (var item in Model.CheckBoxItems)
        {
            <input id="chk@(item.Value)"
                   type="checkbox"
                   value="@item.Value" 
                   checked="@item.IsChecked" />
                @item.Text <br />
        }
       
</div>
