Yes, of course, it is possible. You can use the standard checkbox:

 @Html.CheckBoxFor( x => x.Foo, new { data_url = Url.Action("SomeAction", "SomeController"), id = "mycheckbox" } ) 

and then in your separate javascript file use jQuery to subscribe to the event this flag changes and unobtrusively AJAXify:

 $(function() { $('#mycheckbox').change(function() { var data = {}; data[$(this).attr('name')] = $(this).is(':checked'); $.ajax({ url: $(this).data('url'), type: 'POST', data: data, success: function(result) { // TODO: do something with the result } }); }); });
