Passing radiobutton value as argument on submit

I currently have this method:

public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Include = 
"description,tags,files,editFiles")] Task mydata, int keyId){

and I'd like to remove editFiles from my Task model and modify this method to be:

public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Include = 
"description,tags,files")] Task mydata, int keyId, string editFiles){

My radiobuttons currently look like this:

@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.editFiles, "no change", new { @checked = true }) Do not change files
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.editFiles, "delete") Delete old files

What is the right way for me to accomplish this?

I would create a new viewmodel for the edit view, this viewmodel can inherit from the Task class.

public class EditTaskVM : Task
{
  public bool IsEdit { set;get; }
  //Other edit related properties as needed.
}

in your GET action method (For Edit), Return an instance of this new view model, and my Edit view will be strongly typed to this new EditTaskVM class

and in the view, use the IsEdit property

@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.IsEdit,"nochange", new { @checked = true })No change 
@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.IsEdit,"delete") Delete old files

For your HttpPost action method,

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(EditTaskVM model)
{
  // Do your stuff here
  //check for model.IsEdit
  // TO DO : Redirect (PRG pattern)
}
