Property Value

Type: System::String^

The value of the selected item in the HtmlSelect control. If no item is selected in the control, String::Empty is returned.

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The Value property was set to an item greater than the number of items in the HtmlSelect control or less than -1.

The Value property is commonly used to get the value of the item referenced by the SelectedIndex property.

System_CAPS_noteNote

If no item is selected in the control, String::Empty is returned.

If you set this property to a value, the SelectedIndex property is updated with the index of the first item in the list that contains that value. If no matching value is found, the SelectedIndex property is left unchanged.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Value property to get the value of the selected item in the HtmlSelect control.
