Hi,

If the length is fix as you said in your post.

Then you can try this for a quick solution.

protected void DropDownListNumber_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        string a = DropDownListNumber.SelectedItem.Text.Substring(0,3);

        string b = DropDownListNumber.SelectedItem.Text.Substring(3, 3);

    }

string tmp = dropdown.Text;
stirng a = tmp.Substring(0, 3);
string b = tmp.Substring(3);
