Accepted answer
Set the ID as your DataValueField in your dropdown and then set the Name as your DataTextField. That way when you click on the Button you can get each values like this:
stringID=DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value;
stringname=DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text;
//jointhevaluestogether
stringnameID=string.Format("{0}{1}",ID,name);

Hi,
i think, you need to concatenate them.
