Remarks

A ListItem control represents an individual data item within a data-bound list control, such as a ListBox or a RadioButtonList control.

There are several ways to specify the text displayed for an item in the list control. The most common method is by placing text in the inner HTML content. The inner HTML content is the text between the opening and closing tags of the ListItem control. You can also use the Text property to specify the text displayed in the list control for the item.

The Value property allows you to associate a value with the item in the list control, in addition to the text displayed in the control. For example, you can display text for an item in the list control, such as "Item 1", and use the Value property to specify a value for that item, such as "$1.99".

You can have any combination of the inner HTML content, Text, or Value properties set. The resulting HTML output for the ListItem control depends on the combination of these three properties that are set. For example, if all three properties are set as follows:

<asp:ListItem Value="Value 1" Text="Item 1">Inner 1</asp:ListItem>

The inner HTML content is used for rendered inner HTML content and the Value property is used for the Value attribute. The resulting HTML rendering output is:

<option value="Value 1">Inner 1</option>

The following table lists the combination of set properties and the corresponding property used for the rendered inner HTML content and Value attribute. The three columns on the left list the combination of set properties. The two columns on the right list which property value is used for the corresponding attribute.

Inner HTML content	Text property	Value property	Rendered Inner HTML content	Rendered Value attribute
Set	Set	Set	Inner HTML content	Value property
Set	Set	Not set	Inner HTML content	Inner HTML content
Set	Not set	Set	Inner HTML content	Value property
Set	Not set	Not set	Inner HTML content	Inner HTML text
Not set	Set	Set	Text property	Value property
Not set	Set	Not set	Text property	Text property
Not set	Not set	Set	Value property	Value property
Not set	Not set	Not set	Not set	Not set

Note

Because the Text and Value properties each have a default value of an empty string, it is possible to have empty list items in the list control.

When a list control is displayed, any ListItem control with its Selected property set to true appears highlighted in the control.

The ListItem control provides the Enabled property to allow you to specify whether a ListItem control is enabled or disabled. A ListItem control that is disabled is dimmed to indicate that it cannot be selected. Use this property to disable a ListItem control in either a RadioButtonList control or a CheckBoxList control.

Note

You cannot use this property to disable a ListItem control in a DropDownList control or ListBox control.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of ListItem, see the ListItem constructor.

Caution

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 Controls, How to: Protect Against Script Exploits in a Web Application by Applying HTML Encoding to Strings, and Validating User Input in ASP.NET Web Pages.

Constructors

ListItem()	Initializes a new instance of the ListItem class.
ListItem(String, String, Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the ListItem class with the specified text, value, and enabled data.
ListItem(String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the ListItem class with the specified text and value data.
ListItem(String)	Initializes a new instance of the ListItem class with the specified text data.

Properties

Attributes	Gets a collection of attribute name and value pairs for the ListItem that are not directly supported by the class.
Enabled	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the list item is enabled.
Selected	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the item is selected.
Text	Gets or sets the text displayed in a list control for the item represented by the ListItem.
Value	Gets or sets the value associated with the ListItem.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object has the same value and text as the current list item.
FromString(String)	Creates a ListItem from the specified text.
GetHashCode()	Serves as a hash function for a particular type, and is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
