Display selected check box values in MVC3

I have a view in MVC3, that has bunch of check boxes. The user checks one or more check boxes and clicks on submit. On submit, I would like to display the checked boxes values in a partial view or a view.

<table>
   <tr><td> @Html.Label("Label1")</td><td>  @Html.CheckBox("CB1")</td></tr>   
   <tr><td> @Html.Label("Label2")</td><td>  @Html.CheckBox("CB2")</td></tr>
   <tr><td> @Html.Label("Label3")</td><td>  @Html.CheckBox("CB3")</td></tr>
</table>
 @Html.ActionLink("Submit", "SubmitCB")

Controller action:

 public ActionResult SubmitCB()
    {
      @foreach (var checked in ?) 
        {
             //Display checked only here...            
        }
    }

I was wondering how I can loop through and display the results in a partial view or a view. Thanks for your help.

You need to change your action to allow it to bind to the submitted form. Also, you need to submit the form properly (I would suggest wrapping it in a form tag and using a submit button as opposed to an action link. But here's what your action would look like:

public ActionResult SubmitCB(bool CB1, bool CB2, bool CB3)
{
    ... // use CB1, CB2, and CB3 here
}

If you'd like these checkboxes to be in a list, you need to give them all the same name and different values. Then You can have your action take in something like SubmitCB(string[] CBs) and look at the values in that array (they'll be the values of the selected checkboxes).
