Below is a simple demonstration on how to use checkbox inside a webgrid column in MVC 3.

I had a field called ‘HasPassport‘ in my model which was of type boolean for which I required a checkbox column, to show a checked checkbox for every true value and an unchecked checkbox otherwise.

Using the WebGrid.Column’s format parameter below is how I have used…

grid.Column(
header: "HasPassport ?",
format:
 (col) => @Html.Raw(

 "<input type='checkbox' checked='" +

 ((col.HasPassport) ? "checked" : "") +

 "' disabled='true' />")
)

So for every true value for the ‘hasPassport’ field the following HTML code is generated :

<input type='checkbox' checked='checked' disabled='true' />

P.S Taken from this article.

grid.Column(
header: "HasPassport ?",
format:
 (col) => @Html.Raw(

 "<input type='checkbox' checked='" +

 ((col.HasPassport) ? "checked" : "") +

 "' disabled='true' />")
)

this will always be checked irrespective of col.HasPassport value

Modified to

grid.Column("HasPassport?",header: "HasPassport", 
                format:  (col) => @Html.Raw("<input type='checkbox' "+ ((col.HasPassport) ? "checked='checked'" : "") +"' disabled='true' />") ),
