You need to add a name to your  lt select gt  element    lt select id  testSelect  name  testSelect  gt    It will be posted to the server  and you can see it using   Request Form  testSelect

If you would use asp dropdownlist you could select it easier by testSelect Text   Now you d have to do a Request Form  testSelect   to get the value after pressed btnTes   Hope it helps   EDIT  You need to specify a name of the select  not only ID  to be able to Request Form  testSelect

I ve used this solution to get what you need    Let say that in my  aspx code there s a select list runat  server     lt select id  testSelect   runat  server  ClientIDMode  Static  required gt       lt option value  1  gt One lt  option gt       lt option value  2  gt Two lt  option gt   lt  select gt    In my C  code I used the code below to retrieve the text and also value of the options   testSelect SelectedIndex    0    uninformed         testSelect Items testSelect SelectedIndex  Text     In this case I check if the user selected any of the options  If there s nothing selected I show the text as  uninformed
