MVC3 EditorTemplate for a nullable boolean using RadioButtons

@model bool?
<div data-ui="buttonset">
@{
    Dictionary<string, object> yesAttrs = new Dictionary<string, object>(); 
    Dictionary<string, object> noAttrs = new Dictionary<string, object>(); 
    Dictionary<string, object> nullAttrs = new Dictionary<string, object>(); 

    yesAttrs.Add("id", ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId("") + "Yes");
    noAttrs.Add("id", ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId("") + "No");
    nullAttrs.Add("id", ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId("") + "NA");

    if (Model.HasValue && Model.Value)
    {
        yesAttrs.Add("checked", "checked");
    }
    else if (Model.HasValue && !Model.Value)
    {
        noAttrs.Add("checked", "checked");
    }
    else
    {
        nullAttrs.Add("checked", "checked");
    }
}

@Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, "true", yesAttrs) <label for="@(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(""))Yes">Yes</label>
@Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, "false", noAttrs) <label for="@(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(""))No">No</label>
@Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, "null", nullAttrs) <label for="@(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(""))NA">N/A</label>
</div>

The problem is that you need to set the checked attribute because the Html.RadioButtonFor does not check a radio button based on a nullable bool (which appears to be a flaw).

Also by putting the radio buttons inside of the label tag, you can select value by clicking the label.

Shared/EditorTemplates/Boolean.cshtml

@model bool?
<label>
    <span>n/a</span>
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, "", !Model.HasValue ? new { @checked=true } : null) 
</label>
<label>
    <span>Yes</span>
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, true, Model.GetValueOrDefault() ? new { @checked = true } : null)
</label>
<label>
    <span>No</span>
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, false, Model.HasValue && !Model.Value ? new { @checked = true } : null)
</label>

How about some extension method fun to keep that "one line to rule them all". :-)

public static class DictionaryHelper
{
    // This returns the dictionary so that you can "fluently" add values
    public static IDictionary<TKey, TValue> AddIf<TKey, TValue>(this IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary, bool addIt, TKey key, TValue value)
    {
        if (addIt)
            dictionary.Add(key, value);
        return dictionary;
    }
}

And then in your template file you simply change the signature of how you are adding the additional parameters including the checked="checked" attribute to the element.

@model bool?
<div data-ui="buttonset">
@Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, true, new Dictionary<string,object>()
    .AddIf(true, "id", ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId("") + "Yes")
    .AddIf(Model.HasValue && Model.Value, "checked", "checked")
) <label for="@(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(""))Yes">Yes</label>

@Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, false, new Dictionary<string,object>()
    .AddIf(true, "id", ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId("") + "No")
    .AddIf(Model.HasValue && !Model.Value, "checked", "checked")
) <label for="@(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(""))No">No</label>

@Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, "null", new Dictionary<string,object>()
    .AddIf(true, "id", ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId("") + "NA")
    .AddIf(!Model.HasValue, "checked", "checked")
) <label for="@(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(""))NA">N/A</label>
</div>
