  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls

Clears the list selection of the HtmlSelect control and sets the Selected property of all items to false.

protected:
 virtual void ClearSelection();
protected virtual void ClearSelection ();
abstract member ClearSelection : unit -> unit
override this.ClearSelection : unit -> unit
Protected Overridable Sub ClearSelection ()

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the ClearSelection method in a custom server control so that it always clears all selected items of an HtmlSelect collection.

Remarks

The ClearSelection method iterates through the ListItemCollection collection represented by the HtmlSelect control's Items property and sets the Selected property of each ListItem object to false.
