How to make checkbox checked based on the data from database in mvc 4 entity framework? - entity-framework

Question

I am strong checkbox checked data in db. If the checkbox was checked i want to display it as checked in view. Is it possible to achieve this?
Here is my supporting code.
public ActionResult Index()
{
var groups = db.tm_grp_group.Where(a=>a.grp_isactive==true);
var permissions = db.tm_perm_level;
GroupPermissionVM model = new GroupPermissionVM
{
GroupList = new SelectList(groups, "grp_id", "grp_name"),
Permissions = permissions.Select(p => new PermissionVM
{
perm_id = p.perm_id,
perm_levelname = p.perm_levelname
})
};
return View(model);
}
This is index.cshtml
#model Permission.Models.GroupPermissionVM
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.LabelFor(m=>m.GroupID)
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.GroupID, Model.GroupList, "Please select", new { id = "ddlgrp" })
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Permissions)
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></p>
}
Inside Home/Editortemplate/PermissionVM.cshtml
#model Permission.Models.PermissionVM
#{
ViewBag.Title = "PermissionVM";
}
<div>
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.perm_id)
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.perm_description)
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.perm_status)
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.perm_status,Model.perm_levelname)
</div>
I have table structure like this
grp_id perm_id
1 1 1
2 2 2
permlevel_name perm_status
1 Screen Level True
2 custom Level True
Grp_id is dropdownlistbox in this context. So if i select 1 corresponding permlevel_name is screen level and it is checked. So when i make selection as 1 below screenlevel checkbox should be cheked. Is it possible to achieve this?
