how to get text of dropdownlist of gridview

I am not sure as to exactly how to do it but this might help:

in the dropdownlist selected index changed method. try this:

GridViewRow objRow = (GridViewRow)((DropDownList)Sender).Parent.Parent; //this should get you the GridViewRow (first parent will get you the column)

Now that you have the GridViewRow you can do select the columns and so on and so forth. Again I cannot assure you results but it might be worth trying.

HTH.

Happy Programming!!!

Respected sir
Answer you have given is  right but it is giving text of every dropdownlist but i have 10 dropdown as 10 there 10 rows in gridview, correct answer is in post itself given by raja.krish

 Suppose you having DropDownList control in row cell number one.

 On GV1_SelectedIndexChanged

 DropDownList tmpdll = (DropDownList) GV1.Rows[GV1.SelectedIndex].Cells[1].FindControl("ddl");
 
 String val = tmpdll.SelectedItem.Text;

 tmpdll = null;

SelectedIndexChanged is the way. Can you attach your code Here or try like bellow
DropDownList ddltemp=new DropDownList();
foreach(GridViewRow row in Gridview1.Rows)
{
ddltemp=(DropDownList)row.FindControl("Idofddl");
string _text=ddltemp.SelectedItem.Text.ToString();
}
}
