C#

protected void ddlRole_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
string _selectedText = ddlRole.SelectedItem.Text;//to get the text of selected item
if (ddlRole.SelectedItem.Value != "Operational user") 
{ 
txtUser.ReadOnly = true; 
txtUser.Text = ddlRole.SelectedItem.Text; 
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, GetType(), "Disable", "Disable()", true); 
} 
else 
{ 
txtUser.ReadOnly = false; 
txtUser.Text = ""; 
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, GetType(), "Enable", "Enable()", true); 
} 
ddlRole.Items.FindByText(_selectedText).Selected = true;
}
