select empid from employee_table
Bind the result set to the dropdownlist.

Is it what you want? The question isn't very clear.

Try this

C#

SqlCommand cmd=new SqlCommand()
cmd.commandtext="Select * from Emp";
//assign connection

DropdownList.DataSource=cmd.ExecuteReader();
DropdownList.DataValueField="Empid";
DropdownList.DataTextField="Empname";

Your dropdown will display employees name and in database it'll store employees id
