The selectedItem object has data and label properties, depending on the data that you're supplying you'd want something like this:

mydropdown.selectedItem.label

didn't work . when I use mydropdown.selectedItem.label , it shows nothing .
Well it depends on the data that you're providing, using data and label is just convention. Is there a labelField that is defined for your DropDownList? In my example it would be labelField = "label".
thanks , that worked . my labelField="genre" and I used it like myDropDown.selectedItem.genre and it worked . thank you very much

If your "mydropdown selecteditem" is a class that you wrote yourself, you could create a toString() method in there and make it return something useful.
