ListControl.SelectedItem Property

.NET Framework 3.0

Gets the selected item with the lowest index in the list control.

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

public virtual ListItem SelectedItem { 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.
