your question is not clear. Value of selected item of dropdown can be taken from ddlVndrName.SelectedItem.Value

if you need to show the selected value of ddl in textbox

C#

TextBox1.Text =  Convert.Tostring(ddlVndrName.SelectedItem.Value);

if you need to process something based on the selected value and display results in a textbox:

ASP.NET

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlVndrName" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" onselectedindexchanged="ddlVndrName_SelectedIndexChanged"

C#

protected void ddlVndrName_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  string selectedValue =  Convert.Tostring(ddlVndrName.SelectedItem.Value)
  // process or call other method with the value above 
  TextBox1.Text = ProcessText( selectedValue); 

}

if you need to create dynamic text boxes based on selected value

If you want to populate from database and have a data filed like PhoneNumber then. simple

XML

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlVndrName" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" onselectedindexchanged="ddlVndrName_SelectedIndexChanged/>"

Then code behind

C#

protected void ddlVndrName_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  string selectedValue = ddlVndrName.SelectedValue.Tostring();
  

  TextBox1.Text = GetData( selectedValue);

}

public string GetData(string id)
{
var ConnectionString= "your connection string";
var query = string.formet( SELECT PhoneNumber FROM tableName WHERE id ={0},id};
 using (var conn = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString))
          {
              try
              {
                  if (conn.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
                  {
                      conn.Open();
                  }

                  string returnValue = string.Empty;
                  var selectCommand = new SqlCommand(query, conn);

                      var myReader = selectCommand.ExecuteReader();
                      while (myReader.Read())
                      {
                          returnValue = myReader.GetString(0);
                      }
                  
                  if (conn.State == ConnectionState.Open)
                  {
                      conn.Close();
                  }
                  return returnValue;
              }
		  }
          catch (Exception e)
          {
             throw new Exception(e.Message);
          }

}
