Bind Checkboxes to int array/enumerable in MVC

Question

@Html.CheckBox("orderNumbers", new { value = 1 }) @Html.CheckBox("orderNumbers", new { value = 2 }) @Html.CheckBox("orderNumbers", new { value = 3 }) @Html.CheckBox("orderNumbers", new { value = 4 }) @Html.CheckBox("orderNumbers", new { value = 5 }) [HttpPost] public ActionResult MarkAsCompleted(IEnumerable orderNumbers) { } [HttpPost] public ActionResult MarkAsCompleted(IEnumerable orderNumbers) { } If I use the first signature in my action method, I get an empty IEnumerable. If I use the second signature I do receive the values but I also receive a false value for the unselected values (because of MVCs pattern of shadowing all checkboxes with a hidden field). e.g. I will receive something like orderNumbers = { "1", "2", "false", "4", "false" } Why can't I just get the list of numbers?

Answer 1

You can get all the checked values by the following way. Controller code : public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult Index(string[] orderNumbers) { return View(); } View Code : @using (Html.BeginForm()) { } Please keep one thing in my mind that, you need to give same name to all checkboxes. In array you will get values for all checked checkboxes.
