Post checkboxes even when not selected

[Kevin Finke]

I am writing out a dynamic list of checkboxes.

            <div class="panel col-md-5">

                <span width="10"></span>

                @{

                    foreach (string key in Model.Filter.StatusFilters.Keys)

                    {

                        <label class="checkbox-inline" style="width: 30%">

                            @Html.EJ().CheckBoxFor(m => m.Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[key]).Value("false")

                            @string.Format("{0} ({1})", Model.Filter.StatusFilters[key].Name, Model.Filter.StatusFilters[key].Count)

                        </label>

                    }

                }

            </div>

The first time the page is loaded, I build my model and StatusFilters and create the SelectedStatusFilters dictionary.  When the user posts the data back, it's model binding that recreates the SelectedStatusFilters.  With the standard Html.CheckboxFor(), all checkboxes are posted back.

1. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Website]:
   false
2. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Denied]:
   false
3. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Potential]:
   true
4. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Potential]:
   false
5. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Review]:
   false
6. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Testing]:
   false
7. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Active]:
   true
8. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Active]:
   false
9. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Selected]:
   false
10. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Inactive]:
    false
11. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Retired]:
    false
12. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Dropped]:
    false
13. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Deleted]:
    false
14. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Frozen Active]:
    false
15. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Frozen Selected]:
    false
16. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Frozen Inactive]:
    false

But with EJ().CheckboxFor(), only selected ones get posted.

1. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Potential]:
   true
2. Filter.SelectedStatusFilters[Active]:
   true
3.

Hi Kevin,   

  

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.   

  

We have looked into your query and the checkboxFor components values are not accessed on postback and tried with a simple sample at our end. Unfortunately, we unable to reproduce the reported issue. We have also attached the sample with normal and EJ checkbox for components obtaining values on postback in the below link.   

  

Sample: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/135872/ze/Forum_155872-1840272270   

  

In the above sample, Home/Index page contains a EJCheckBoxFor controls and Home/AboutPage contains HTML CheckboxFor control bound with model values from checkbox model class. On postback, both HTML CheckboxFor and EJCheckBoxfor controls return values in a similar way (both false and true values are obtained in name value pair). If this is not your case, please revert with an issue reproducing sample so that we can validate the reported issue and provide an exact solution for your requirement.

The sample you sent still suffers the same problem, both in Edge and Chrome.  You'll notice that Keys1 is NOT present in the Form Data.
