DropDownList.SelectedItem.Value
should return the id, and if you want the text, use Text instead of value

TASK MENU

I see on some text a task menu pop up next to a dropdownlist or a grid view for choosing a datasource and setting certain properties. I try but fail to make the task menu appear. Please explain how. Thanks.

In design mode, hover over a control that has quicktasks (datasource,dropdown,etc..)
a small triangle appears above the control - click it to open quicktasks
