Why don’t you create a SelectList in the controller and pass it to the view through ViewBag?

Hi siddangoud,

As far as I think,it isn't the proper syntax to bind value of checkboxfor.

The syntax is :

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

I think,you could use other helper methods to get greater flexibility about checkbox values and behaviour:

@Html.CheckBox("templateId", new { value = item.TemplateID, @checked = true });

More details,you could refer to below articles:
