ASP.NET MVC Html.CheckBoxListFor is missing / compiler error

Question

I'm trying to add a list of checkbox items for a legacy ASP.NET MVC application.

Like this and this .

Given the following code, I get the following error:

<td>@if (Model != null)
    {
        @Html.CheckBoxListFor(model => new[] { "yo" }, new[] { "hi" } );
    }
</td>

Can anyone explain why this is missing / unable to be found?

When I click F12 on Html in the code, this is the assembly/version of MVC:

• project is .NET Full Framework 4.8
• MVC = nuget package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 5.2.7

Furthermore, when I try searching for CheckBoxListFor in the MS docs, there's nothing returned. When i search for CheckBoxFor there are results.

So does CheckBoxListFor even exist any more for ASP.NET MVC 5?

Answer 1

It is not supported anymore on MVC 5.
