Answer 1

For resolving this in every get request I'm appending checked boxes value as comma separated string. Then retrieve the values from query string.

$("#pageLayout a").click(function () {
        //Check for the click event insed area pageLayout
        //get the href of link
        var link = $(this).attr('href');
        var apps = '';

        //for all the checkbox get the checked status
        $("input:checkbox").each(
            function () {
                if ($(this).attr('name') != 'IsChecked') {
                    if (apps != '') {
                        apps = apps + ',' + $(this).attr('name') + '=' + $(this).is(':checked');

                    }
                    else {
                        apps = $(this).attr('name') + '=' + $(this).is(':checked');
                    }
                }

            }
            )


        //Used to check if request has came from the paging, filter or sorting. For the filter anchor href doesnt haave
        //any query string parameter. So for appending the parameter first ? mark is used followed by list of query string 
        //parameters. 
        var index = link.lastIndexOf('?');            

        //If there is no question mark in the string value return is -1
        if (index == -1) {
            //url for the filter anchor tag
            //appList hold the comma sep pair of applicationcode=checked status
            link = link + '?appList=' + apps + '&profileName=' + $('#ProfileName').val();
        }
        else {
            //url for sorting and paging anchor tag                
            link = link + '&appList=' + apps + '&profileName=' + $('#ProfileName').val();

        }


        //Alter the url of link
        $(this).attr('href', link);


    });
