Are you sure that the Selected index has changed? Are you using the code in the SelectedIndexChanged event handler?

Just tested the same and "it works on my PC" :)

Your code is correct just write it into index change or set AutopostBack property of dropdownlist to True.

C#

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (DropDownList1.SelectedIndex >= 0)
            lbl.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedIndex.ToString();
    }
