e.g.: Design DropDownBox & ListBox Control On Your Page.

On Page_Load Event...

if(IsPostBack)
{
string __sDropDownItem = Combo.SelectedValue.ToString();

string __sArray = Directory.GetDirectories(Path.Combine(sYourPath, __sDropDownItem ));

List.Items.Clear();

foreach(string __s in __sArray)
{
List.Items.Add(__s, __s);
}
}
