Hi

XML

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
            onselectedindexchanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged">
            <asp:ListItem>AUDUSE</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>USDASD </asp:ListItem>
        </asp:DropDownList>

code:

C#

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       string a = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text.Substring(0,3);
       int length = (DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text.Length) - 3;
       string b = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text.Substring(3,length);
   }

string orig = "AUDUSE";

string a = orig.Substring(0, 3);
string b = orig.Substring(3, 3);

C#

string source = "1234567890";
string a = source.Substring(0,3); // take the first 3 characters

Solution 2

You can use String.Substring for that. Something like:

a = DropDownValue.Substring(0,3);
b = DropDownValue.Substring(2,3);
