In razor, set value first.

@{model.As = true;}
@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.As)

My way is @Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.As, new { @value= "true" }) (meaning is checked)

@Html.CheckBox("yourId", true, new { value = Model.Ischecked })

This will certainly work

Old question, but another "pure razor" answer would be:

@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.As, htmlAttributes: new { @checked = true} )

You could set your property in the model's constructor

public YourModel()
{
    As = true;
}

I use viewbag with the same variable name in the Controller. E.g if the variable is called "IsActive" and I want this to default to true on the "Create" form, on the Create Action I set the value ViewBag.IsActive = true;

public ActionResult Create()
{
    ViewBag.IsActive = true;
    return View();
}

An alternative solution is using jQuery:

    <script src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            PrepareCheckbox();
        });
        function PrepareCheckbox(){
            document.getElementById("checkbox").checked = true;
        }
    </script>

In your controller action rendering the view you could set the As property of your model to true:

model.As = true;
return View(model);

and in your view simply:

@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.As);

Now since the As property of the model is set to true, the CheckBoxFor helper will generate a checked checkbox.
