To retrieve
Selected Item Text: DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text
Selected Item Value: DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value
OR
Selected Item Value: DropDownList1.SelectedValue
Selected Item Index: DropDownList1.SelectedIndex

The SelectedIndex and SelectedValue properties of the DropDownList can also be used to have a list item selected in the DropDownList.

Page_Prerender event, fires just before the page is rendered to the client. This is your last chance to inspect or change any of the HTML that is generated by the server. There are several scenarios where this event could be useful. I will make a video on these scenarios as soon as I can.

Hi! If I have a table whith columns Id, Country, City, Zip. And in dropdownlist Text="City" and Value="Id". When I click on button, could I take other properties of SelectedItem(Country and Zip)?

Hi sir, Thank you so much for the videos.
 Could you please help me in 
    displaying the corresponding data in textbox retrieved from the database on the dropdown selected item without using gridview...I tried a lot...please help

[swapnilsonsurkar]

better to give control to the button ..then we will not face such problem ..#page_Load..(!IsPostBack)


protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (DropDownList1.SelectedValue == "-1")
{
Response.Write("please enter continent Value");
}
else
{
+ "<br/>");
+ "<br/>");
+ "<br/>");
}
