How to get selected rows using checkbox in asp.net MVC

Question

Hi i've a problem related to html.checkbox in my MVC application.

My scenario is:

I've a list(index view) page where i bind data from the database with a checkbox to select/deselect the item. when i click save button i want to get selected rows to save those items back to db.

i used

1.  <input type="checkbox" id="chk2" value="<%= item.recid %>" >  
    // I'm not getting value of chk2 in serverside 

2. <%= html.CheckBox("chk1")%>
    // i'm getting chk1 in serverside with value like 'true,false,true,false...'

in my model view iteration.

So how to do that in MVC application?

Can you give us some more of your code. What you are displaying in the view and the relevant code from your action? — Andy Long

This is how I do it...

In the view, give all your checkboxes the same name and a unique value.

<input type="checkbox" name="MyCheckboxes" value="<%= item.recid %>" >

In your controller action method, pass an IList with the name of the checkboxes.

public ActionResult MyActionMethod(IList<string> MyCheckboxes)
{
...
}

You'll receive in MyCheckboxes a list of the values of only those checkboxes that were selected.

For 1), you need to specify a name on the input element.

You then need to match that name to a parameter on your Action Method.
