Hi All,
i have declared and instance of ListItemCollection and fill it like follows:

    Function GetList() As ListItemCollection

        Dim lstcol As New ListItemCollection()

        lstcol.Add(New ListItem("1st", "2342322"))
        lstcol.Add(New ListItem("2nd", "1233434"))
        lstcol.Add(New ListItem("3rd", "5464556"))

         Return lstcol
    End Function

but when attach this collection list to dropdownlist control and getting the value for control selected item i found The value equal to the text displayed!!!

and this code used to display selected item(text,value)

txt1.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text.ToString
txt2.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value.ToString
