To be honest I don't really understand the question after those code blocks, but I can say that you can use inline condition in your views in ASP.NET MVC3. Something like that for example:

bool isChecked = false;
<input type="checkbox" name="x" @(isChecked ? "checked=checked" : "") />

It's shorter and it will produce code like that:

<input type="checkbox" name="x">

And BTW, there is a helper method Html.CheckBox to create checkbox in your view and in second parameter you can indicate if you want it to be checked:

@{bool isChecked = false;}    
@Html.CheckBox("x", isChecked)

And that will rendrer this:

<input id="x" type="checkbox" value="true" name="x">
<input type="hidden" value="false" name="x">

Try it on your own.
