0	Just declare the drop down list in the frond end and in code behind add the values and use selectedindex/value in aspx: <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" Font-Bold="true" Width="180px"> </asp:DropDownList><br /> In code behind: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { DropDownList1.Items.Clear(); DropDownList3.Items.Add("Sample"); DropDownList3.Items.Add("Demo"); DropDownList3.Items.Add("Example"); } now we can use DropDownList1.selectedvalue, DropDownList1.selectedIndex to get the selected value to the code behind Thanks and Regards V.SaratChand Show difficulties that how difficult you are Anishabathija, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Just declare the drop down list in the frond end and in code behind add the values and use selectedindex/value
in aspx:

     <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" Font-Bold="true" Width="180px">

                        </asp:DropDownList><br />

In code behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

DropDownList1.Items.Clear();

DropDownList3.Items.Add("Sample");

DropDownList3.Items.Add("Demo");

DropDownList3.Items.Add("Example");

}

now we can use

DropDownList1.selectedvalue,

DropDownList1.selectedIndex

to get the selected value to the code behind

Thanks and Regards
