If you are looking for just any selection from the drop-down box  I also find  select by index  method very useful   if  IsElementPresent By XPath    select  id  Q43 0             new SelectElement driver FindElement By Id  Q43 0       SelectByIndex 1        This is selecting first value of the drop-down list     WaitForAjax        Thread Sleep 3000     else        Console WriteLine  Your comment here

You must create a select element object from the drop down list    using OpenQA Selenium Support UI       select the drop down list  var education   driver FindElement By Name  education        create select element object   var selectElement   new SelectElement education       select by value  selectElement SelectByValue  Jr High         select by text  selectElement SelectByText  HighSchool      More info here

Adding a point to this- I came across a problem that OpenQA Selenium Support UI namespace was not available after installing Selenium NET binding into the C  project  Later found out that we can easily install latest version of Selenium WebDriver Support Classes by running the command   Install-Package Selenium Support   in NuGet Package Manager Console  or install Selenium Support from NuGet Manager

Other way could be this one   driver FindElement By XPath        id  examp   form select 1  option 3     Click      and you can change the index in option x  changing x by the number of element that you want to select   I don t know if it is the best way but I hope that help you
