try like this

VB

If TextBox1.Text Is Nothing Then
            cmd = New SqlCommand("insert into sample   values('" + DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text + "')")
        Else
            cmd = New SqlCommand("insert into sample   values('" + TextBox1.Text + "')")
        End If
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery ()

as for the logic part:

C#

if (TextBox1.Text.Trim() != string.Empty)
        {
            //The text box is not empty so let us use this value to push in DB
        }
        else
        {
            string valueToPush = DropDownList1.SelectedValue;
            //Now push this value in the DB
        }

and for the database interaction code you can refer this:

Solution 2

when you saving data if your page is not postback on dropdownlist selection than check that if in textbox data exist than save textbox data or not than save dropdownlist selected value data.
