At present to get the nice kendo checkboxes you need a checkbox followed by a label, you can't do this in asp.net mvc because

@Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.IsEnabled)

renders as:

<input id="IsEnabled" type="checkbox" value="true" name="IsEnabled">
 <input type="hidden" value="false" name="IsEnabled">

The solution is to use the kendo mvc dll, or possibly just make your own, but it would be much easier if the kendo ui code could just ignore the hidden input, or if the two controls could be linked via 'for', 'data-for', 'data-whatever'
