You could also enforce a generic constraint to an enum type for this helper method.
and then:
Model:
public enum ActionStatus
{
Open,
Closed
}
public class MyViewModel
{
public ActionStatus Status { get; set; }
}
Controller:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View(new MyViewModel
{
Status = ActionStatus.Closed
});
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(MyViewModel model)
{
return View(model);
}
}
View:
@model MyViewModel
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.RadioButtonForEnum(x => x.Status)
<input type="submit" value="OK" />
}
