asp.net mvc 3 - How do I set a checkbox in razor view?

Question

I need to check a checkbox by default:

I tried all of these, nothing is checking my checkbox -

@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.AllowRating, new { @value = "true" })

@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.AllowRating, new { @checked = "true" })

@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.AllowRating, new { @checked = true })

@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.AllowRating, new { @checked = "checked"})

Answer 1

You should set the AllowRating property to true, preferably in the controller or model.
Like other inputs, the checkbox's state reflects the value of the property.
