Remarks

The RenderChildren method overrides the base class's RenderChildren method without calling the base method. Each of the <option> elements between the opening and closing <select> tags is rendered with a value attribute, a selected attribute if the item is selected, and its associated text.

If multiple items were selected but the Multiple property is set to false, then an HttpException exception is thrown.
