What do you mean by listbox used with dropdown? Better to share the implementation you have done.

Solution 1

Try:

C#

string theSelectedItemText = MyDropDownList.SelectedItem.Text;

Probably that means

C#

string theSelectedItemText = Country.SelectedItem.Text;

in your case but it's not that obvious from your "code" samples.
