Try it without the quotes:

int experienceYears = Convert.ToInt32(DropDownList1.SelectedValue);

Remove the quotes; the code as it stands is trying to convert the literal string "DropDownList1.SelectedValue" to an integer, which it can't.

int experienceYears = Convert.ToInt32(DropDownList1.SelectedValue);
