Assuming you're asking about Sitecore 9 Forms, if you have the value, you can get the selected text of a dropdown field like this:



if (field is DropDownListViewModel)

 DropDownListViewModel dropdownField = field as DropDownListViewModel;
 string selectedtext = dropdownField.Items.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Value == value)?.Text;



By the way, the HabitatHome demo repository has a useful little extension method sample for getting the value of a submitted form field. Check it out here

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain.

"Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
