CheckBox List item not posting in mvc 5 - checkbox

Question

I'm making an attendance panel for the students that are enrolled in the particular batch. For that I'm displaying the records of the students along with the number of checkboxes according to the number of classes assigned for that batch. Everything is displayed correctly, However checkboxes of only one row carry values to the post, and rest of the checkboxes in other rows are not posted. The student details for each row is posting correcting in a list.
Below is my code
StudentAttendance.cs
public class StudentAttendance
{
public List<Models.User> userlist { get; set; }
public List<Models.Days> days { get; set; }
}
InstructorController.cs
public ActionResult AssignedStudents(string id)
{
Models.StudentAttendance viewmodel = new Models.StudentAttendance();
//viewmodel.studentbatch = new Models.StudentBatch();
//viewmodel.user = new Models.User();
Context.Instructor instructor = new Context.Instructor();
viewmodel.userlist = new List<Models.User>();
viewmodel.days = new List<Models.Days>();
viewmodel.userlist = instructor.lstAssignedStudents(id);
Context.Batches contBatch = new Context.Batches();
var days = contBatch.SelectDays(id);
int totaldays = contBatch.CalculateDays(days);
var duration = contBatch.GetallBatchList().Where(p => p.Id == id);
var batchduration = (from c in duration where c.Id == id select c.Duration).ToList();
string d = batchduration[0].ToString();
int totalduration = contBatch.GetBatchDuration(d);
int TotalCheckBoxes = totalduration * totaldays;
List<string> getdays = contBatch.getdaysinList(days, totalduration);
List<Models.Days> day = new List<Models.Days>();
for (int i = 0; i < TotalCheckBoxes; i++)
{
day.Add(new Models.Days { dayid = i, dayname = getdays[i], ischecked = false });
}
viewmodel.days = day;
return View(viewmodel);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult MarkAttendance(Models.StudentAttendance viewmodel)
{
Models.StudentAttendance viewmodel1 = new Models.StudentAttendance();
//viewmodel.studentbatch = new Models.StudentBatch();
//viewmodel.user = new Models.User();
return View();
}
AssignedStudents.cshtml
#model WebApplication1.Models.StudentAttendance
#{
ViewBag.Title = "AssignedStudents";
}
<h2>AssignedStudents</h2>
<p>
#Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")

#using (Html.BeginForm("MarkAttendance","Instructor", FormMethod.Post))
{

#for (int j = 0; j < Model.userlist.Count; j++)

#Model.days[i].dayname
#Html.HiddenFor(m => Model.days[i].dayid)
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.days[i].dayname)
</td>
}
</tr>
}
</table>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" id="Attendance" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
}

Solved the issue using viewmodel as a List in the controller class.
StudentAttendance.cs
List<DayVM> days = new List<DayVM>
{
new DayVM(),
new DayVM()
};
List<StudentVM> model = new List<StudentVM>
{
new StudentVM{ Id = 1, FirstName = "Bob", Days = days },
new StudentVM{ Id = 2, FirstName = "john", Days = days },
}
return View(model);
and inside view
#for(int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
... elements for properties of Student
#for(int j = 0; j < Model[i].Days.Count; j++)
{
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m[i].Days[j].IsSelected)
....
}
}
and taking List for collecting values in the post action
public ActionResult MarkAttendance(List<Models.StudentVM> lst)
{
.....
}
All thanks to Stephen Muecke who made it easy.
