Remarks

Use the SelectedIndex property to programmatically specify or determine the index of the selected item from the DropDownList control. An item is always selected in the DropDownList control. You cannot clear the selection from every item in the list at the same time.

Note

The indexes for the items in the DropDownList control are zero-based.
