Save and retrieve checkbox values asp.net mvc

Question

I'm new to asp.net mvc and currently using MVC 2. I'm struggling with working with checkboxes for days now. I simply need to get checked checkbox values to be saved in database and on Edit view check them back.

<input type="checkbox"  id="coduit for safety near motor" name="Prepration" value="coduit for safety near motor"/><br />
<input type="checkbox" id="coduit for far side safety" name="Prepration" value="coduit for far side safety"/><br />
<input type="checkbox" id="coduit for power cable to near power point" name="Prepration" value="coduit for power cable to near power point"/><br />

On post controller method i can save the values of checked Checkboxes to the database as a comma separated string by using

strign a= = Request.Form["Prepration"];

How can i show them back on Edit view?

I don't know whether this is the way to do this any alternative solution would be great

The answer of your first question:

Need to get checked checkbox values to be saved in database

On a button click push all the values in a array and from there store them in a hidden field and when you post your form get those values from this hidden field:

    <script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function () {
         $("input#btnSubmit").click(function () {
         var id = [];
         $("input[name='Prepration']:checked").each(function () {
         id.push($(this).val());
    });
    $("#HiddenFieldId").val(id);
         });
    });
    </script>

Now coming to your second question:

How can i show them back on Edit view?

<input type="radio" id="a" name="Prepration" checked="@Model.BoolPropertyName" />

Here you can have the value of in boolan.

Hope this will help you.
