爱华网public virtual ListItem SelectedItem { get { int selectedIndex = this.SelectedIndex; if (selectedIndex >= 0) { return this.Items[selectedIndex]; } return null; }}public virtual string SelectedValue { get { int selectedIndex = this.SelectedIndex; if (selectedIndex >= 0) { return this.Items[selectedIndex].Value; } return string.Empty; }}在没有选定任何项的情况下，SelectedValue默认值是string.Empty，而SelectedItem默认值是null（也就是说通过SelectedItem.Value可能发生异常）
1. selectedIndex——指的是dropdownlist中选项的索引，为int，从0开始，可读可写
2. selectedItem——指的是选中的dropdownlist中选项，为ListItem，只读不写
3. selectedValue——指的是选中的dropdownlist中选项的值，为string， 只读不写
4.selectedItem.Text——指的是选中的dropdownlist中选项的文本内容，与selectedItems的值一样为string，可读可写
5.selectedItem.value——指的是选中的dropdownlist中选项的值，与selectedValue的值一样，为string，可读可写
光看文字可能不太理解，我也是通过程序来加深理解的，下面举个例子：
