HtmlSelect.ClearSelection Method

Definition

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

C#
protected virtual void 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.

C#
using System.Web;
using System.Security.Permissions;

namespace Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls
{
    [AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
    public sealed class CustomHtmlSelectClearSelection : System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlSelect
    {
        protected override void ClearSelection()
        {
            // For each item in the Items collection, 
            // set the Selected property to false.
            for (int i=0; i < Items.Count; i++)
            Items[i].Selected = false;
        }
    }
}

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.
