retrieving Checkbox value within an MVC controller

Question

I have the following code to include a checkbox to show deleted items as part of a list:

    <input name="DeletedItems" value="ShowDeleted" type="checkbox">
    <label for="showdeleted">Show deleted itmes</label>

This code is located with in the view. My question is: How do I retrieve this value within the controller for this view. I need to retrieve this value in order to to determine whether to show the deleted items or not. Thank you.

A checkbox is a boolean, so it return true or false, checked or unchecked. — Andrea Turri

Are you doing this on form submission or do you need to do it in a more ajax-y fashion? — kinakuta

You can use FormCollection object to retrieve check box value..

view:

<:input name="DeletedItems" value="ShowDeleted" type="checkbox">

Controller:

[HttpPost]

public ActionResult YourAction( FormCollection result) {

string CheckBoxValue=result["DeletedItems"];

}
