Drawing A Map

Here is an example of the draw code required to render the map. The map doesn't seem to split the tile values into actual tiles it leaves them all in a single string.

            foreach (var l in map.Layers)
            {

                if (l.GetType() == typeof(TiledTileLayer))
                {
                    TiledTileLayer layer = l as TiledTileLayer;
                    string[] tiles = layer.Data.Data.Split(",");
                    tiles[0] = tiles[0].Substring(2);
                    for (int i = 0; i < tiles.Length; i++) // loop to cycle through each tile
                    {
                        int gid = Convert.ToInt32(tiles[i]);

                        // Empty tile, do nothing
                        if (gid == 0)
                        {

                        }
                        else
                        {
                            int tileFrame = gid-1;
                            int column = (tileFrame % 16);
                            int row = (int)Math.Floor((double)tileFrame / (double)16);


                            float x = ((i % map.Width)) * map.TileWidth;
                            float y = ((float)Math.Floor(i / (double)map.Width)) * map.TileHeight;

                            Rectangle tilesetRec = new Rectangle(map.TileWidth * column, map.TileHeight * row, map.TileWidth, map.TileHeight);

                            Game1._spriteBatch.Draw(tileset, new Rectangle((int)x, (int)y, map.TileWidth, map.TileHeight), tilesetRec, Color.White);
                        }
                    }

                }
                else if (l.GetType() == typeof(TiledObjectGroup))
                {
                    TiledObjectGroup layer = l as TiledObjectGroup;
                    foreach(TiledObject to in layer.Objects)
                    {
                        _spriteBatch.Draw(pixel, new Rectangle((int)to.X, (int)to.Y, (int)to.Width, (int)to.Height), Color.White);
                    }
                }
            }
