Unsupported functions for controls in Web Forms

Table 8-7 lists unsupported functions, the controls on which they are not supported, and any notes that apply to specific controls. If your application uses these functions, rework it to avoid their use.

Control functions with partial support

FindItem In Web Forms applications, the FindItem function is supported for all list box controls and the TreeView control. The syntax for finding an item by its label is also fully supported for the ListView control. However, the syntax for finding an item by its relative position in a ListView control is only partially supported. In Web Forms applications, the cuthighilighted and drophighilighted arguments are not supported and DirectionAll! is the only supported value for the direction argument.
