Hello, I am trying to session the values that a user select from a dropdownlist to be displayed on a label field in another page.

However, i only manage to session the ID of the value in the table. I want the value to appear instead of the ID that it represents.

Any idea how i can change it to show the value instead of the ID?

This is a snippet of my code where user selects from 2 DropDownList under the SelectedIndexChanged method:

C#
int ddvalue = Convert.ToInt32(DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value);
int ddvalue1 = Convert.ToInt32(DropDownList2.SelectedItem.Value);
           if (ddvalue == 1 && ddvalue1 == 1)
           {
               Label6.Text = "$500";
           }


the code above only allows me to session the ID of the value. How can i session the value from the dropdownlist instead?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Get the selecteditem.text instead of .value.

so the session statement is Session["duration"] = this.DropDownList1.SelectedValue; ?
or is it Session["duration"] = this.DropDownList1.SelectedIndex; ?

It is SelectedItem.Text. Refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.dropdownlist.aspx or just use intellisense to find it.
