Getting DropDownlist's DataTextValue Selected Value Given the SelectedValue and/or Selected Item
In the vb.net codebehind, I need to extract something from the Text (displayed) value of dropdownlist's selected item and I have the SelectedValuand and SelectedItem in hand. How can I do this?
FindControl? Item? row?
Thanks.

Well, its easier than you might think.
SelectedItem has a "text" property. Thats the selected text right there :)

If you need the Text of the selection, then you have to use the SelectedItem.Text property. If you want the value (not the displayed text) the you can directly use the SelectedValue.
dim sText as String = dropdown1.SelectedItem.Text
dim sValue as Integer = cint(dropdown1.SelectedValue)<asp:Dropdownlist id="Dropdown1" runat="server" DataValueField = "employeeID" DataTextField="EmployeeName" DataSourceID="Employees" />
