Hi all,
How to get the path of a file selected in the dropdownlistbox? My code does not works.

C#

private String _WAVFile = null;
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"E:\voices\", "*.wav");

        foreach (string file in files)
        {
            DropDownList1.DataSource = file;
            DropDownList1.Items.Add(new ListItem(file));
            
           
        }
// When a button is cliked
_WAVFile = Path.GetFullPath(DropDownList1.SelectedValue);
        ListBox1.Text = _WAVFile;

Thanks in advance.

"My code does not work" is not informative.

It does not perform any action. Any error in my code?
