FormCollection for a checkbox

Question

My FormCollection is returning back a Checkbox, but I am after the value

collection["SelectedCheckbox"]

this returns "true,false"

but I want the results, which should be either true or false

Answer 1

in asp.net-mvc you would have to check for false, the reason you check for false because the Html Checkbox helper does some kind of freaky thing for value true

True returns as:

it makes the string read "true, false"

so you may have thought it was two values but its just one and means true

False returns as:

it makes the string read "false"
