Answer 1

采用

drprdepart.SelectedItem.Value.ToString();

Answer 2

Below is the working code used in my project,

It will add the details to the Dropdown control:

DD_CurrencyCode.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
DD_CurrencyCode.DataTextField = "name";
DD_CurrencyCode.DataValueField = "active_currency_code";
DD_CurrencyCode.DataBind();

It will fetch code from the dropdown:

string ddCurrencyCode = DD_CurrencyCode.Text;

Hope the code was useful,please let me know if its works for you.

drprdepart.SelectedValue.ToString();

Answer 4

drprdepart.SelectedItem.Value for get the string

if you ind objects into dropdown

(Object Type)drprdepart.SelectedItem will convert selected item into selected object

Answer 5

Are you binding your Dropdown list inside IsPostBack ? if not that's why its always getting 1st value selected

 if (!IsPostBack)
      {
         // Bind dropdown here
       }

and the get the selected value and text using

    drprdepart.SelectedItem.Value.ToString();
    drprdepart.SelectedItem.Text.ToString();
