I recommend using JeremiahClark extension posted above. (CheckBoxList)

My controller resulted into very simple instructions. For clarify I add a fragment of my code that's absent in the sample.

        var rolesList = new List();
        foreach (var role in Roles.GetAllRoles())
        {
            rolesList.Add(new CheckBoxListInfo(role, role, Roles.IsUserInRole(user.UserName, role)));
        }
        ViewData["roles"] = listaRoles;

And in the view:

<%= Html.CheckBoxList("roles", ViewData["roles"]) %>

That's all.
