Solution 1

you select one dropdown item, that item value you need to save in SQL table , right ...?

for this first of all you create SQL table, and in page wise you select the item whatever you want based upon the item you fetch selected value, then that value you save in your DB.

Solution 2

SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnstr);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into Employe values('" + DropDownList1.SelectedValue + "')", cn);
cn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cn.Close();

May be this help you try it once.....other wise in the place of "selected item" once you can try "selected value".
