Property Value

An object representing the currently selected data item. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if no item is selected.

Exception	Description
System.InvalidOperationException	The SelectedItem property can only be used with a synchronous data source. When using an asynchronous data source, the BeginGetSelectedItems and EndGetSelectedItems methods must be used instead.

If more than one item is selected, the SelectedItem property will return the last item that was selected.

The SelectedItem and SelectedItems properties can only be used with a synchronous data source. When used with a asynchronous data source, an exception will be thrown.
