how to get selected text from html select in asp.net code-behind?

I use html Select in apsx page and bind it to data in database as dropdown:

<SELECT id="dd"  name="dd" runat="server" DataValueField="ID" DataTextField="Name">

Then in code behind, I can get the selected item value(which is mapped to ID) as:

myvalue = dd.value;

But I want to get the selected text(which is mapped to Name), not the value in code behind. How to do it?

myvalue = dd.SelectedText;

Edit: For a databound htmlselect you can try:

myvalue = dd.DataSource[dd.SelectedIndex][dd.DataTextField].ToString();
