Answer 1

Try this, it solved this same issue for me. Thought I would share it in case others came upon this issue in the future.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(FormCollection collection)
{
    Boolean tempValue = collection["showAll"] != null ? true : false;
    TempData["showAll"] = tempValue;

    ... 
    something
    ...
}
