Assuming that the items in your CheckedListBox are strings:

  for (int i = 0; i < checkedListBox1.Items.Count; i++)
  {
    if ((string)checkedListBox1.Items[i] == value)
    {
      checkedListBox1.SetItemChecked(i, true);
    }
  }

Or

  int index = checkedListBox1.Items.IndexOf(value);

  if (index >= 0)
  {
    checkedListBox1.SetItemChecked(index, true);
  }
