I try to check multiple values in ASP.NET CheckboxList but I couldn't.
I Wrote :
chkApplications.SelectedValue = 2;
chkApplications.SelectedValue = 6;
But it just selects item with value '6'
What's wrong ?

The best technique that will work for you is the following:
chkApplications.Items.FindByValue("2").Selected = true;
chkApplications.Items.FindByValue("6").Selected = true;
OR you can simply do it like...
foreach (ListItem item in chkApplications.Items)
{
if (item.Value == "2" || item.Value == "6")
{
item.Selected = true;
}
}

That will throw exception if value is not found. Also needs to iterate the complete collection once for every call to
FindByValue.foreach (var item in cb.Items.Cast<ListItem>()
.Where (li => li.Value == "2" || li.Value == "6"))
item.Selected = true;

you can put the value in a list (MyList), and use FindByValue to check them.
foreach (var item in MyList)
{
checkBoxList.Items.FindByValue(item.id).Selected = true;
}

Instead of trying to select the item through chkApplications.SelectedValue try
chkApplications.Items.Item(2).Selected = True
chkApplications.Items.Item(6).Selected = True
