cshtml binding js function with boolean parameter using model

Hi, I recently faced this issue while binding Model.boolvariable as a parameter to js function. it was not getting passed as expected but always received 'onclick' the event name which was getting bind. here is the sample I was struggling with: <a href="" class="OpenDataTablePopup" style="font-weight:bold" onclick="javascript: ShowTBL(@Model.intfield, @Model.IsDefaultData ); return false;">Edit record</a> After several tries with trial and error I got this solution, which I wasn't aware of: <a href="" class="OpenDataTablePopup" style="font-weight:bold" onclick="javascript: ShowTBL(@Model.intfield, @Model.IsDefaultData.ToString().ToLower() ); return false;">Edit record</a> Just adding this info, as someone might save some time.
