Answer 1

like so if you need the index of the last selected checkbox

var query = (from o in CheckBoxList1.Items.OfType<ListItem>()  
                     where o.Selected  
                     select o).Take(1).Reverse().ToList();   

Answer 2

Use a selector for the collection, then use index with the element that you are interested in, here the one that is checked.

var checkboxes = $('input:checkbox').;
var selectedIndex = checkboxes.index(checkboxes.find(':checked'));

To get the index of a clicked checkbox use:

$('input:checkbox').click( function() {
    var selectedIndex = $('input:checkbox').index( $(this) );
    ... now do something with it...
});

EDIT: Based on your code sample:

var checkboxes = $('#<%=chkListGroups.ClientID %>').find('input:checkbox');
checkboxes.click(function() { 
    var selectedIndex = checkboxes.index($(this)); 
    alert(selectedIndex); 

});  

Answer 3

get value: $("input:checked").val();
get id: $("input:checked").attr('id');

//or this:
var counter=0;
$('input:checkbox').each(function(){
   if($(this).is(":checked"))
   {
     var Index = counter;
   }
   else{
     counter++;
   }

   //So Index is what you want.
});

I haven't tested this, but it's something like this code. I hope it helps you
