This class represents an individual item from the list of a ListControl, such as CheckBoxList, DropDownList, RadioButtonList, and ListBox. The Text property returns the text for the list item, the Value property returns the contents of the "hidden" value attribute, and the Selected property indicates whether or not it is currently selected, which is useful for list controls that allow multiple selections.
