Remarks

When set, the ObjectList attempts to render a shortcut to invoke the default command. In HTML, the default rendering in ListView displays the first field as a link to the DetailsView of the ObjectList. By setting the DefaultCommand property, clicking the link invokes the default command. Invoking the default command raises the ItemCommand event. The CommandName of the ObjectListCommandEventArgs object is set to the value of the DefaultCommand property.

Even if a default command is defined, you should include a command with the same name in the commands collection. If the control cannot render a graphical element that includes a shortcut for the default command, the default command is still available by rendering the ObjectList.Commands collection.
