selam,

1-yapmak istedigin sey nedir?
2-autopostback ten haberin var mi?

kolay gelsin

Try this instead;

Dim x As String= ItemDropDown.SelectedValue

Oh and use CODE tags around your code when posting in daniweb forums.

selim,

if you change autopostback property of dropdownlistbox to TRUE, that will help you. and you can use Dim x As String= dropdownlistbox1.text it like this. let us know what happend.

thanks
