Not sure what you are asking. If you have a dropdown list on a form then
reference it:

Me.ddlMyList.SelectedValue

Jeff, I should make myself clearer. I have a webform with a fromview control
(FormView1) displaying a record. One of the controls inside the formview is a
dropdownlist and I'd like to use its value in VB. Me.ddlMyList.SelectedValue
would work if the dropdown is on the webform outside the formview.
Thanks
