  <pre><code>@model project.gamestatus
  
  @using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Calculator", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "frmID" }))
  {
  
          //other codes
  
          &lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
                  @Html.Label("Show on Screen", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
                  &lt;div class="col-md-10"&gt;
                      @Html.CheckBoxFor(m =&gt; m.display_status)
                      @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.display_status, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
                  &lt;/div&gt;
              &lt;/div&gt;
  
          &lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
              &lt;div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10"&gt;
                  &lt;input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-info" /&gt;
              &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
  }
  </code></pre>
