C# CheckBox Question

I have HTML Generated Checkboxes on a page. How can I check to see if they are 'Checked' with c#? I am looking to use an if statement

if (checkbox.checked = true)
   {
        // EXECUTE CODE HERE
   }

I don't know how to call the element since it's HTML.

For my HTML I use another aspx to generate the HTML 

FileListLabel.Text += ("<input type='checkbox' name='option" + counter +
                       "' value='" + SPEncode.HtmlEncode(oListItem["ID"].ToString()) +
                       "'>" + SPEncode.HtmlEncode(oListItem["LinkFilename"].ToString()) + "<BR>");

Is there a way to make that runat server? Or Should I use the Request.Form?

Thank you.

In my opinion you should do this with javascript only in a way like <input onclick="__doPostBack('__Page', 'yourCheckboxNumberNIsChecked');" /> // where yourCheckboxNumberNIsChecked is flag which you will set when you define that checkbox has property checked set in "true". Then in code-behind you can define this event in a such way:

If Page.IsPostBack Then
   Dim eventArg As String = Request("__EVENTARGUMENT")
   If eventArg = "yourCheckboxNumberNIsChecked" Then
       Response.Write("You check it !")
   End If
End If

With C# you either need to have the checkboxes declared as runat="server" to access by name, or check the Request.Form for the value.

An HTML checkbox will only be submitted if it is checked.

So, if it exists in the postback, it was checked.
