How do i create a display template so i can display a bool as Yes or No not a checkbox? Using mvc3
<%: Html.DisplayFor(model => model.SomeBoolean)%>
I had to create something similar so it would display "Sim" and "Não" (portuguese Yes/No). I created the following file:
Views\Shared\DisplayTemplates\Boolean.ascx
And added the following code:
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<dynamic>" %>
<%= (bool) ViewData.Model ? "Sim" : "Não" %>
Hope this helps!
EDIT Forgot, in your view, simply call it like so:
<%= Html.DisplayFor(i => item.Ativo) %>
EDIT 2 For a nullable (bool?), try this:
<%= (ViewData.Model == null) ? "NA" : (ViewData.Model == true) ? "Y" : "N"%>
EDIT 3 Using Razor syntax (Views\Shared\DisplayTemplates\Boolean.cshtml):
@{ Layout = null; }
@(ViewData.Model ? "Sim" : "Não")
