Programmatically get multi choice values from SharePoint 2010 list item

I have a team site in which I have created a custom list named “Test”. In the custom list I have created a choice field which allows multiple selections.

I have added a new item with multi choice values as shown in Figure

Here you will see how to get all the choice values for particular column using SharePoint object model.

Code Snippet:

 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
 
namespace MultiChoice
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://serverName/sites/Vijai/"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {
                    SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("Test");
                    if (list != null)
                    {
                        SPListItem item = list.Items[0];
                        SPFieldMultiChoiceValue choices = new SPFieldMultiChoiceValue(item["MultiChoice"].ToString());
                        for (int i = 0; i < choices.Count; i++)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine(choices[i]);
                        }
                        Console.ReadLine();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
