title: SelectedValue vs SelectedItem.Value of DropDownList
body: <p>I'm working on an old project written and then patched by several people over the years. At some places they have used SelectedValue property and other places they used SelectedItem.Value.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question:</strong> Is <code>SelectedValue</code> just a <em>syntactic sugar</em> for <code>SelectedItem.Value</code> or <code>SelectedValue</code> works differently under the hood? Which one performs better?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> SelectedItem.Text was replaced with SelectedItem.Value</p>
