Remarks

Use the Value property to store data that you need to use at processing time. For example, the Text property may contain a string that you want to display and the Value property may contain a number, such as an item number, that you can use to look up information in a database. Also, the value of the Value property is what is sent to the custom XML data, if the content control is mapped to XML data in the data store.

Note: You cannot set the Value property for list entries that were automatically populated from an XML schema attached to the custom XML that is mapped to this control.
