In the last blog post I showed you how to bind radio buttons to a boolean value. In this blog post we will look at how to bind to integer values. In certain business applications you might have the user select a single value from a list of items coming from a database. You want to display these options as radio buttons and then retrieve the value the user selects.)
In the last blog post I showed you how to create a different look and feel for radio buttons. We used the button groups and glyph icons from bootstrap to build this different look. Now let's bind these radio buttons to a single boolean property in a class. Let's say you have a Product class that has an IsDiscontinued property that you would like a user to select between an 'Active' and a 'Discontinued' product.)
In my last two blog posts I showed you how to use the bootstrap 'btn-group' class to create check boxes that are a little nicer looking and easier to use on a mobile device. In addition I showed you how to bind check boxes to individual properties on an entity class. In this blog post you will learn how to create a set of check boxes from a collection of entity classes. You will also learn how to retrieve which check boxes were checked by the user and update the appropriate entity class in the collection with these values.)
After the last post on how to create check boxes that use the bootstrap 'btn-group' to modify the look and feel of check boxes, I thought it would be good to show how to bind these check boxes using MVC. After all, you will most likely need to display check boxes based on data from a table.)
