The Telerik UI Switch HtmlHelper for ASP.NET MVC is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI Switch widget.

The Switch displays two exclusive choices. With the new Switch variables introduced in the Kendo UI for jQuery R1 2019 release, the default styling of the Switch component for each of the Sass-based Kendo UI for jQuery themes can be modified to match the desired custom layout. For more information and examples, refer to the article on implementing a custom layout for the Switch.

Initializing the Switch

The following example demonstrates how to define the Switch.

    @(Html.Kendo().Switch()
        .Name("switch") // The name of the Switch is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of the widget.
        .Checked(true)
    )

Basic Configuration

The configuration options of the Switch are passed as attributes.

    @(Html.Kendo().Switch()
        .Name("switch")
        .Checked(true)
        .Enabled(true))
