asp.net - How to clear selection of a RadioButtonList

RadioButtonList ClearSelection() Method
The following asp.net c# example code demonstrate us how can we deselect/unchecked a RadioButtonList server controls programmatically at run time. RadioButtonList is an asp.net list web server control. RadioButtonList can contains one or more items.

Web users can select/checked only one item from RadioButtonList at a time. .Net RadioButtonList control render a Radio Group on web browser. So if we select an item from RadioButtonList control, then we cannot deselect the RadioButtonList control; but we can change the item selection.

Sometimes, .net developers want to provide the facility to their users to deselect a RadioButtonList control when users already selected an item. We can deselect/unchecked a RadioButtonList control's selection by calling its ClearSelection() method. When we call the ClearSelection() method, then the RadioButtonList goes to initial state and deselected.
