I have written the below code on my view page;

@Html.CheckBox("ChxName",true)

and I got the following result;

<input checked="checked" id="ChxName" name="ChxName" type="checkbox" value="true" />
<input name="ChxName" type="hidden" value="false" />

why is there a input element named as the same with checkbox?
