ASP.NET Core Razor - post checkbox value as yes or no to database

Question

I have the following checkbox "checkbox" name= "chk1" asp- for = "MinPPE.Head" checked data-toggle= "toggle" data-on= "Not Required" data-off= "Required" data-onstyle= "danger" data-offstyle= "success" data-width= "150" data-height= "50" /> In the database, for MinPPE.Head I want to have Yes if checkbox checked (Required) and No if not (Not Required). How do I build my Post statement?

if below code doesn't work then it means you are not getting true/flase , you have null value. e => e.Head.ToString()== "True" ? "Yes" : "No" ;

Sachin Singh · Answer

Have you tried e => e.Head==true? "Yes" : "No"

Sachin Singh · Answer

You can convert bool to string public void OnPostSubmit(PersonModel person) { this.Name = person.MinPPE.Head? "Yes" : "No" ; }

Ok, I got functional, it is posting but now, how do I get the values for OnGet? I want the checkboxes to be checked in true in the database and not checked if false MinPPE = await _context.MinPPEs.Where(a => a.PTWNo == ptwNoId).DefaultIfEmpty().SingleOrDefaultAsync(); gives me error for null values

Marius Vasile · Answer

The error is that it cannot convert type 'string' to 'bool'.

I am using a Razor page, my Post looks like this var newMinPPE = new MinPPE(); if (await TryUpdateModelAsync(newMinPPE, "MinPPE" , e => e. // this is where I have the result of the checkbox )) { _context.MinPPEs.Add(newMinPPE); await _context.SaveChangesAsync(); }
