Assign ViewBag value to input checkbox?

Question

I am trying to assign ViewBag value in Boolean to an HTML Input checkbox. It is throwing the following error: Cannot resolve symbol '<%= ViewBag.Solicitation %>'

<input id="chkSolicitation" type="checkbox" name="chkSolicitation" 
       checked="<%=  ViewBag.Solicitation %>" />

No hes not using razor ..that would read @ViewBag.Solicitation :) — Robert Hoffmann

ViewBag.Solicitation should be assigned to the value="", checked just says if its checked or not, has nothing to do with the actual value assigned. btw checked is not checked="true/false", if checked exists then it's checked ..checked="false" will check the box ! — Robert Hoffmann

I recommend using this, assuming you are using Razor:

@Html.CheckBox("chkSolicitation", (bool)ViewBag.Solicitation)

If you are not using Razor, use this:

<%: Html.CheckBox("chkSolicitation", (bool)ViewData["Solicitation"]) %>
