        using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand())
        {
            cmd.CommandText = "select * from hobbies";
            cmd.Connection = conn;
            conn.Open();
            using (SqlDataReader sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
            {
                while (sdr.Read())
                {
                    ListItem item = new ListItem();
                    item.Text = sdr["Hobby"].ToString();

@Gitz What's the big deal in that? Instead of using item.Selected just use !item.Selected(note the not symbol before item) in the linked answer. — Sriram Sakthivel

You can try below sample of code :-

        string chkboxlistValue = "";
        string uncheckedId = "";
        foreach (ListItem val in chkbxId.Items)
        {
            if (val.Selected)
            {
                chkboxlistValue += val.Value + " ";
            }
            else
            {
                 uncheckedId += val.Value + ",";
            }
        }

foreach (ListItem item in chkHobbies.Items)
{
   if (item.Selected == false)
   {
      // your code here
   }
}
