Hi,

I have a Checkbox on view as

HTML

@Html.CheckBox("CB_ReportStatus", true);

And i am accessing it on my controllers method as

C#

bool CBValue = Convert.ToBoolean(Request.Form.Get("CB_ReportStatus"));

But in this case Convert.ToBoolean(Request.Form.Get("CB_ReportStatus"))

gives two values i.e true and false; which causes to error in controller.

How can i access checkbox exact selected value? and why two values appears in controller ?

Any help would be great for me...

thanks in advance

Solution 1

View your HTML. Do you have two checkboxes with the same name and one is checked and one is not ?
