You need to store the value into a session variable, not only in a String variable:

Dim ename As String = DropDownList.SelectedItem.Value

Session("yourKey") = ename

I tried DropDownList.SelectedItem.ToString() & it worked. I tried without the parentheses too & it still work in visual basic. I hope it will work for you too.

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but if you're looking for the text of the item (instead of the value) you need DropDownList.SelectedItem.Text.

To store in session, you can just use

Session("yourKey") = DropDownList.SelectedItem.Value
