Remarks

Use the SelectedIndex property to programmatically specify the selected item in the DataList control. You can also use this property to determine the index of the selected item.

Note

The SelectedIndex property is zero based.

To deselect an item, set the SelectedIndex property to -1.

The SelectedIndex property is stored in control state.
