   <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Add New</button>
}

Controller

var isActive = userModel.IsActive;

but it's always get null value if i checked my checkbox.

help me to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Rather than

@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.IsActive.Value)

Try

@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.IsActive)

I'm not sure you supply the value like that for a CheckBoxFor - you supply the model property

Answer 2

This solved my issue:

@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.IsPublic.Value,
    new { @Id = "IsPublic",@Name="IsPublic" })
