Retrieving selected item value from a dropdownlist

I have a dropdownlist with a datatext field name country and a datavaluefield named countryid.

I need to get the datavaluefield's value and store it in an sql table "mytable", based on the selectedindexchanged event of the dropdownlist.

Please keep the code in C#.

string value = ddl.SelectedItem.Text;

*This will return the selected item's text in value, which you can use in your db statements *
