[asp.net-mvc-3] How do I set a checkbox in razor view?

This works for me:

<input id="AllowRating" type="checkbox" @(Model.AllowRating?"checked='checked'":"")    style="" onchange="" />

If you really wants to use HTML Helpers:

@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.AllowRating, new { @checked = Model.AllowRating})
