Kendo MultiSelect Dropdown

I am working on Kendo Multiselect dropdown,using this I am able to insert values in database.

For example

I am storing this value A,B,C,D,E in database table column name State and then on click event of a button,I am taking this value from database.

Then I store this in property suppose State.

I want to display this store value in MultiSelect dropdown,using the following code

 $("#dropDown1").data("kendoMultiSelect").value(result.State);

dropDown1 is Id of Multiselect.

How to display the store value in dropdown to update.
