Hi, In my ASP.NET MVC app I am rendering out a checkbox using the following code:
<%= Html.CheckBoxFor(i=>i.ReceiveRSVPNotifications) %>
Now I see that this renders both the checkbox input tag and a hidden input tag. The problem that I am having is when I try retrieve the value from the checkbox using the FormCollection:
FormValues["ReceiveRSVPNotifications"]
I get the value "true,false". When looking at the rendered out HTML I can see the following:
<input id="ReceiveRSVPNotifications" name="ReceiveRSVPNotifications" value="true" type="checkbox">
<input name="ReceiveRSVPNotifications" value="false" type="hidden">
So the FormValues collection seems to join these two values since they have the same name. Any Ideas?
