Getting value from a dropdown list that was populated with AJAX

Question

I had populated an ASP.net dropdown list with AJAX now I need to get the Id to store in into the database in a C# method, (I'm using LINQ) This is my webmethod ``` [WebMethod] public static ArrayList GetLanguageList() { ArrayList lstArrLanguage = new ArrayList(); IQueryable myList = new SupplierBL().GetTowns(); foreach(Common.Town t in myList) { string name = t.Name; string id = t.TownId.ToString(); lstArrLanguage.Add(new ListItem(name, id)); } return lstArrLanguage; } ``` My test.aspx code ```

Accepted Answer

You can't get selected value from `DropDownList` if you adding options in `javaScript`. You can try the following

```
string selectedValue = Request.Form[ddlLanguage.UniqueID];
```
