Property Value

The index number of the selected item in the DataList control to edit.

Use the EditItemIndex property to programmatically specify the item to edit. You can also use this property to determine the index of the item selected for editing.

NoteNote

The EditItemIndex property is zero based.

To unselect an item, set the EditItemIndex property to -1.

Caution noteCaution

This control can be used to display user input, which might include malicious client script. Check any information that is sent from a client for executable script, SQL statements, or other code before displaying it in your application. You can use validation controls to verify user input before displaying the input text in a control. ASP.NET provides an input request validation feature to block script and HTML in user input. For more information, see Securing Standard ControlsHow to: Protect Against Script Exploits in a Web Application by Applying HTML Encoding to Strings, and Validating User Input in ASP.NET Web Pages.

The EditItemIndex property is stored in control state.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the EditItemIndex property to specify the item selected by the user for editing.
