# Selection

The Rating allows you to control the selection of its items.

To configure the [`Selection`](https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-core/api/kendo.mvc.ui.fluent/ratingbuilder#selectionsystemstring) property, use either of the following settings:

* `continuous`—Allows the selection of all items from the start to the end.
* `single`—Allows the selection of a single item.

## Continuous Selection

The continuous selection is the default selection mode of the Rating. If not configured, the Rating will automatically set the [`Selection`](https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-core/api/kendo.mvc.ui.fluent/ratingbuilder#selectionsystemstring) property to `"continuous"`.

```Razor HtmlHelper
    @(Html.Kendo().Rating()
        .Name("rating")
        .Selection("continuous")
    )
```

```Razor TagHelper
    <kendo-rating name="rating" selection="continuous"></kendo-rating>
```

## Single Selection

To configure the single selection mode, set the [`Selection`](https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-core/api/kendo.mvc.ui.fluent/ratingbuilder#selectionsystemstring) property to `"single"`.

```Razor HtmlHelper
    @(Html.Kendo().Rating()
        .Name("rating")
        .Min(1)
        .Max(6)
        .Value(3)
        .Selection("single")
    )
```

```Razor TagHelper
    <kendo-rating name="rating" 
                  min="1"
                  max="6"
                  value="3"
                  selection="single">
    </kendo-rating>
```
