how to create a checkboxlist in ASP.Net MVC using jquery


I want to generate dynamic checkboxes on the basis of selected value of dropdown.

@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.Fromsource, new SelectList(Model.Fromsource, "Value", "Key"), "---Select---", new
                    {

                    })
@Html.CheckBox("Tosource", false, new { @class = "dropdown" })
<script>
  $("#Fromsource").change(function () {
            var urlSource = '@Url.Action("FillToSource", "PublishPost")';
            var fromsouyrcetype = $(this).val();
            if (fromsouyrcetype != "") {
                $.ajax({
                    url: urlSource,
                    method: "GET",
                    data: {
                        "sourceType": fromsouyrcetype
                    },
                    success: function (result) {

                        $.each(result, function (index, value) {
                            //what to write here?
                           //value.name = name of the checkbox
                          //value.id = value of the checkbox
                        });
                    }
                });
            } else {


            }

        });</script>

value.id and value.name are the values which i want to fill for checkbox as mentioned in the comment above.


Solution

  • If I understand your question right, you want to dynamically create checkboxes based on the result that you are getting from server (query performed each time that dropdown value changed):

    <div id="checkboxContainer"></div>
    <script>
      $("#Fromsource").change(function () {
                var urlSource = '@Url.Action("FillToSource", "PublishPost")';
                var fromsouyrcetype = $(this).val();
                if (fromsouyrcetype != "") {
                    $.ajax({
                        url: urlSource,
                        method: "GET",
                        data: {
                            "sourceType": fromsouyrcetype
                        },
                        success: function (result) {
                                $('#checkboxContainer').empty();
                                var content;
                                $.each(result, function (index, value) {
                                    content += '<input type="checkbox" name="'+ value.name +'" id="'+value.id+'"/>'
                                });
                                $('#checkboxContainer').html(content);
                            }
                    });
                } else {
                    $('#checkboxContainer').empty();
    
                }
    
            });</script>
