HTML: checkbox using c# razor & model

Question

i have a checkbox that i'm using the model's company value to see if it should be checked. company value can have more than one company as such: 1,9,10,15

in this case of multiple companies, following statement will never be true.

<input type=checkbox id=drsc class="comp" value="9" data-mini="true"   @(Model.company=="9" ? "data-chkd=true" : "") />

so i'm trying to use logic below using the 'contains' clause and it doesn't seem to be working.

<input type=checkbox id=nn class="comp" value="9" data-mini="true"  @((Model.company).Contains("9") ? "data-chkd=true" : "") />

if my company field has just company 9, first stmt is working. but not 2nd. any thoughts?

@Ek0nomik found it: he put it up, but not formatted correctly, so it was invisible — Tim S.

What type is Model.company? It looks like a string, but consider the fact that "10".Contains("1") is true. That looks like it should be an IList<int>. — Tim S.

Is the company property just a comma delimited string? Should it be a list instead? update: heh, posted at same time as Tim. — Geoff Gunter

UPD:

Try use razor syntax:

@Html.CheckBox("checkBoxName", Model.company == "9", new { id = "drsc", @class = "comp", value = "9", data_mini = "true" })

Result html code will be:

<input class="comp" data-mini="true" id="drsc" name="checkBoxName" type="checkbox" value="9">

if you have array of companies like this:

public class TmpModel
{
    public IEnumerable<int> companies = new int[] { 1, 9, 10, 15 };
}

this code make checkbox checked if company 9 is one of model.companies

@Html.CheckBox("checkBoxName", Model.companies.Contains(9), new { id = "drsc", @class = "comp", value = "9", data_mini = "true" })
