Your code looks fine to me but try to use Linq instead;

IEnumerable<string> CheckedItems = CheckBoxList1.Items.Cast<ListItem>()
                                   .Where(i => i.Selected)
                                   .Select(i => i.Value);

After that, you can add your s string these values like;

foreach(string i in CheckedItems)
        s += i + ",";

Don't forget to add System.Linq namespace.
