Remarks
Use the SelectedItemTemplate property to control the contents of the selected item. The appearance of the selected item is controlled by the SelectedItemStyle property.
To specify a template for the selected item, place the <SelectedItemTemplate> tags between the opening and closing tags of the DataList control. You can then list the contents of the template between the opening and closing <SelectedItemTemplate> tags.
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.
