The best place to ask these questions is http://forums.asp.net/ Your
problem is quite specific but I'm pretty sure there'll be someone there who
has solved the exact same problem.

I had a problem doing something similar; cleaning a form to remove unwanted
items that asp.net kindly drops in there. I never managed to solve it
ideally. When passing the form object as a parameter I had to recieve it as
a NameValueCollection - which has read only items, meaning that I had to
copy the items I wanted to another NameValueCollection, but by the time
you've got that far you notice that your NameValueCollection has the same
data as a form but it is NOT a quite a collection of form data! Ahh..,
