How to Get the Value of a Checkbox in Razor

I have a form containing the following:

<form method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="a1" >

In my Razor/C# code I want to assign to an integer var a1 the value of 1 is the element is checked and the value of 0 if unchecked.

I've been trying things like 

If (document.getElementById("a1").checked)
If (document.getElementById("a1").checked==true)
If (document.getElementById("a1").checked.AsBool()==true)
If (Request.Form["a1"].checked==true)

And other similar permutations of the above, and nothing works. Either I have error messages, or it ignores me.

How do you this?

Clarification: the first 3 lines above are in a inside <script> </script> tags inside the Razor code. Ultimately, I need to UPDATE a record in a table with this.

the answer was simple:

var a1=(Request.Form["a1"]=="on") ? 1 : 0;

The value I was looking for is a string, without any .checked or anything like that. And then I just do a conditional assignment.

Assuming you mean in JavaScript - You need to set the 'id' attribute if you wish to use getElementById

<input type="checkbox" name="a1" id="a1">
