CheckBox with Comma Separated string values

Question

i'm new to asp.net mvc and i'm trying to handle saving and retrieving the checkBox checked values.

In my view i'm having below checkboxes

<input type="checkbox" id="cabling in coduit" name="Prepration" value="cabling in coduit"/>cabling in coduit<br />
<input type="checkbox" id="Power to be done by liteStart" name="Prepration" value="Power to be done by liteStart"/>Power to be done by liteStart<br />
<input type="checkbox" id="Other - pls spec" name="Prepration" value="Other - pls spec"/>Other - pls spec<br />

In my controller:

String vals=Request.Form["Prepration"];

I get the checked values as a comma separated string and i save that string into my database column.

Now when i retrieve the value i have something like below.

cabling in coduit,Power to be done by liteStart

How can i check the relevant checkboxes on my edit view using the comma separated string

then you can do something like this

    if(vals.indexOf("cabling in coduit") > -1 ){
       $('#cabling in coduit').prop('checked', true);
    }
    else if(vals.indexOf("Power to be done by liteStart") > -1 ){
       $('#Power to be done by liteStart').prop('checked', true);
    }
    else if(vals.indexOf("Other - pls spec") > -1 ){
       $('#Other - pls spec').prop('checked', true);
    }

The code supplied is javascript, and the lines that start with $ use jQuery. You would put this code in the $(document).ready() function and it would restore the checkbox state for you. You could read more about jQuery to get the idea.
