[asp.net-mvc-4] how to set radio button checked in edit mode in MVC razor view

Here is how I do it and works both for create and edit:

//How to do it with enums
<div class="editor-field">
   @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x.gender, (int)Gender.Male) Male
   @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x.gender, (int)Gender.Female) Female
</div>

//And with Booleans
<div class="editor-field">
   @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x.IsMale, true) Male
   @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x.IsMale, false) Female
</div>

the provided values (true and false) are the values that the engine will render as the values for the html element i.e.:

<input id="IsMale" type="radio" name="IsMale" value="True">
<input id="IsMale" type="radio" name="IsMale" value="False">

And the checked property is dependent on the Model.IsMale value.

Razor engine seems to internally match the set radio button value to your model value, if a proper from and to string convert exists for it. So there is no need to add it as an html attribute in the helper method.
