Hi,

I have the following code for my check boxes;

View

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Shipper_SMS_Alert_Bid)

@Html.CheckBox("Shipper_SMS_Alert_Bid", "Shipper_SMS_Alert_Bid")
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Shipper_SMS_Alert_Bid)

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Shipper_Email_Alert_Bid)

@Html.CheckBox("Shipper_Email_Alert_Bid", "Shipper_Email_Alert_Bid")

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Shipper_Email_Alert_Bid)

Controller

C#

if (Convert.ToBoolean(Shipper_SMS_Alert_Bid) == true)
           {
               objShipper.Shipper_SMS_Alert_Bid = 'Y';
           }
           else
           {
               objShipper.Shipper_SMS_Alert_Bid = 'N';
           }

           if (Convert.ToBoolean(Shipper_Email_Alert_Bid)== true)
           {
               objShipper.Shipper_Email_Alert_Bid = 'Y';
           }
           else
           {
               objShipper.Shipper_Email_Alert_Bid = 'N';
           }


               dcfx.FxShippers.InsertOnSubmit(shipper);
               dcfx.SubmitChanges();
               return RedirectToAction("Index");



       }

I would like to POST 'Y' or 'N' if the check box is checked or unchecked respectively but the above inserts a NULL value in the database. How do I correct this? I am using MVC with LINQ.

Thnx in advance.
