In button2_Click event, you can get dropdown's values as : 

DropDownList ddl1 = (DropDownList)Page.FindControl("dropDownList1");
string dropdown1value = ddl1.SelectedValue;

But after second postback, your dynamically added controls will be lost. so you should add them in page's init event not in first button's click event.

That should read panel1.FindControl("dropDownList1") . If I'm not mistaken, FindControl() only scans first degree child controls.
@SirDemon : No, Page.FindControl returns controls that are child of another control.
actually i tried bt it gves an error dat "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
