Going to explain issue step by step :
Step 1 : You have an entity with a nullable bool? property.
Step 2 : Scaffolding generated <InputCheckbox @bind-Value="VendorDataFile.IsLicensed" />.
Step 3 : You see compiler errors, because:
- InputCheckbox only supports bool, not bool?.
- The bind expression assumes it is bool.
Step 4 : Changing to just @bind suppresses compiler errors, but leads to a runtime exception, because InputCheckbox needs a valid ValueExpression.
Solution as per below :
If you're not allowed to change the model, the best approach is to map the nullable value to a non-nullable one temporarily in the UI, and then sync it back.
@code {
private bool isLicensed
{
get =\> VendorDataFile.IsLicensed ?? false; // default to false
set =\> VendorDataFile.IsLicensed = value;
}
}
Then change the checkbox code to:
\<div class="mb-3"\>
\<label for="islicensed" class="form-label"\>IsLicensed:\</label\>
\<InputCheckbox id="islicensed" @bind-Value="isLicensed" class="form-check-input" /\>
\<ValidationMessage For="() =\> VendorDataFile.IsLicensed" class="text-danger" /\>
\</div\>
This avoids runtime issues by using a non-nullable proxy (isLicensed) for a nullable property (IsLicensed).
