SelectedValue vs SelectedItem.Value

Question

Is SelectedValue just as same as SelectedItem.Value ? Which one performs better?

Answer 1

SelectedValues returns the Value of the selecteditem or NULL if there is none.SelectedItem returns the selected item. SelectedItem.Value return the .Value of the SelectedItem.the main difference between these two properties is that the SelectedValue has a setter also, since SelectedItem doesn’t. Advantage of SelectedValue is when using Binding expressions.
