get all items from Umbraco.CheckBoxList

Using Umbraco 7
I hope this is an easy question.

If I get items from the Umbraco.CheckBoxList like this
```
 string values = currentPage.GetPropertyValue("proppertyName").ToString();
```
I only get the ones selected in an string like this Item1, Item2, Item3 what if I need them all to be displayed on the frontend and only the one selected in bold how would I select them all.

Hi Dan,

I like this question a lot, however the answer is a bit complex and requires using a few services!

@{
    if (Model.Content.HasValue("superHeros"))
    {
        var selectedValues = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("superHeros").Split(',');

        var propertyTypeAlias = Model.Content.GetProperty("superHeros").PropertyTypeAlias;
        var documentTypeAlias = Model.Content.DocumentTypeAlias;

        var propertyType = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentTypeService.GetContentType(documentTypeAlias).PropertyTypes.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias == propertyTypeAlias);

        if (propertyType != null)
        {
            var dataTypeId = propertyType.DataTypeDefinitionId;
            var preValues = ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService.GetPreValuesByDataTypeId(dataTypeId);

            foreach (var preValue in preValues)
            {
                if (selectedValues.Contains(preValue))
                {
                    <li><strong>@preValue</strong></li>
                }
                else
                {
                    <li>@preValue</li>
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Because this requires quite a few management API's to get the answer, I would recommend using a cached partial view so that it's not hitting the DB a lot.

@foreach (var n in ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService.GetPreValuesByDataTypeId(datatypeid).ToList())

{

@n

}

Cool, looking back at it now I might put the propertyAlias into a variable to avoid it being there three times, e.g.

@{
    var propertyAlias = "superHeros";
    if (Model.Content.HasValue(propertyAlias))
    {
        var selectedValues = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>(propertyAlias).Split(',');

        var propertyTypeAlias = Model.Content.GetProperty(propertyAlias).PropertyTypeAlias;
        var documentTypeAlias = Model.Content.DocumentTypeAlias;

        var propertyType = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentTypeService.GetContentType(documentTypeAlias).PropertyTypes.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias == propertyTypeAlias);

        if (propertyType != null)
        {
            var dataTypeId = propertyType.DataTypeDefinitionId;
            var preValues = ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService.GetPreValuesByDataTypeId(dataTypeId);

            foreach (var preValue in preValues)
            {
                if (selectedValues.Contains(preValue))
                {
                    <li><strong>@preValue</strong></li>
                }
                else
                {
                    <li>@preValue</li>
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
