do as below 

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     if(!IsPostBack)
     {
        //load listbox items here 
     }
}

if you load data on page load, in every post back your listbox will load again and again, you will lost the selection. Do as above to load data only first time page load. now you can get the list box selected items in button click event.

Put this on your code behind

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     listNames.Items.Add("listboxItemValue1","Listbox Item Text 1");
     listNames.Items.Add("listboxItemValue2","Listbox Item Text 2");
} 

protected void btn_Add_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     txtName.Text = listNames.SelectedItem.Text;
}

and this on your Asp,net page

<asp:button ID="btn_Add" runat=server" OnClick="btn_Add_Click" />

Try this,

On code behind button click event.

 txtText.Text = drpDwn.SelectedValue; // This is for ID
 txtText.Text = drpDwn.SelectedItem.Text; //This is for Text
