Ho to access the HTML control

Is the element marked with the attribute runat="server"?

Please try the following code Request.Form.GetValues("chkSelect")

If you want to manipulate a server control or HTML element through server-side code, you must mark the element with the attribute runat="server". In your case, you could certainly have the following:

<input type="checkbox" id="chkSelect" runat="server"/>

Server-side then, the chkSelect object would be identified as the type System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputCheckBox, and you could inspect or manipulate it's properties (lookup HtmlInputCheckBox on MSDN for a reference). You could certainly use a <asp:Checkbox id="chkSelect" runat="server"/> control instead. Any reason you're not?
