asp.net mvc EditTemplate radio not checked

Question

I have an enum in model. I tried to created radio buttons for this enum in my view. That works fine and one checkbox is checked according to model value (like x o o).

@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.Data.CementType, ReMod.CementType.R, new { @id = "CementTypeR" })
<label for="CementTypeR">R</label>
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.Data.CementType, ReMod.CementType.N, new { @id = "CementTypeN" })
<label for="CementTypeN">N</label>
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.Data.CementType, ReMod.CementType.S, new { @id = "CementTypeS" })
<label for="CementTypeS">S</label>

However after I created EditTemplate for enum

@model ReMod.CementType

@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model, ReMod.CementType.R, new { @id = "CementTypeR" })
<label for="CementTypeR">R</label>
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model, ReMod.CementType.N, new { @id = "CementTypeN" })
<label for="CementTypeN">N</label>
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model, ReMod.CementType.S, new { @id = "CementTypeS" })
<label for="CementTypeS">S</label>

and called this template from view

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Data.CementType)

, than is not any checkbox checked (like o o o).

Thank you for any advice ...

Answer 1

So never mind, that it doesn't work. I made the helper method like this. I know, it is not ideal solution...

@helper EditorForCementType(CementType type)
{
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(model => type, CementType.R, new { @id = "CementTypeR" })
    <label for="CementTypeR">R</label>
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(model => type, CementType.N, new { @id = "CementTypeN" })
    <label for="CementTypeN">N</label>
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(model => type, CementType.S, new { @id = "CementTypeS" })
    <label for="CementTypeS">S</label>
}

@model ReMod.CementType is basically saying that the Model you are referring to is of type ReMod.CementType. After declaring that, you can refer to that model using model. That is my understanding. try doing this:

@model ReMod.CementType

@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model, model.R, new { @id = "CementTypeR" })
<label for="CementTypeR">R</label>
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model, model.N, new { @id = "CementTypeN" })
<label for="CementTypeN">N</label>
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model, model.S, new { @id = "CementTypeS" })
<label for="CementTypeS">S</label>
