Gets or sets the index of the selected item in the DataList control.
(in System.Web.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
<BindableAttribute(True)> _
Public Overridable Property SelectedIndex As Integer
Dim instance As DataList
Dim value As Integer
value = instance.SelectedIndex
instance.SelectedIndex = value
[BindableAttribute(true)]
public virtual int SelectedIndex { get; set; }
[BindableAttribute(true)]
public:
virtual property int SelectedIndex {
int get ();
void set (int value);
}
public function get SelectedIndex () : int
public function set SelectedIndex (value : int)
<asp:DataList SelectedIndex="Int32" />
Use the SelectedIndex property to programmatically specify the selected item in the DataList control. You can also use this property to determine the index of the selected item.
.gif) Note: |
|---|
The SelectedIndex property is zero based. |
To deselect an item, set the SelectedIndex property to -1.
The SelectedIndex property is stored in control state.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the SelectedIndex property to specify the selected item in the DataList control.
