Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property SelectedItem As ListItem

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As ListControl
Dim value As ListItem

value = instance.SelectedItem

public virtual ListItem SelectedItem { get; }

C++

public:
virtual property ListItem^ SelectedItem {
	ListItem^ get ();
}

/** @property */
public ListItem get_SelectedItem ()

JScript

public function get SelectedItem () : ListItem

XAML

Not applicable.

Property Value

A ListItem that represents the lowest indexed item selected from the list control. The default is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

If the list control allows only a single selection, use this property to get the individual properties of the selected item. If the list control allows multiple selections, use this property to get the properties of the lowest indexed item selected from the list control.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use SelectedItem to get the individual properties of the currently selected item in the RadioButtonList and to display that item and its value.
