Referencing the display name in a dropdownlist

D

duncans

I have a dropdownlist that I populate from a Web Service using a
parameterized stored query. In the dropdownlist the value is a category Id
and the display name is the category description. When I display the control
the text property is the Id (as I would expect). However, I need to be able
to reference the display name of the selected list item in code. Must be
simple but I cannot figure it out.
