[System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(null)]
[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)]
public virtual System.Web.UI.ITemplate SelectedItemTemplate { set; get; }

Value

a System.Web.UI.ITemplate

Remarks

Use the DataList.SelectedItemTemplate property to control the contents of the selected item. The appearance of the selected item is controlled by the DataList.SelectedItemStyle property.

To specify a template for the selected item, place the <SelectedItemTemplate> tags between the opening and closing tags of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataList control. You can then list the contents of the template between the opening and closing <SelectedItemTemplate> tags.

Note:

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.
