title: DropDownList holds one more value
body: <p>I have <code>dropdownlist</code> which has items that text and value property of the item are set to primary key. Yes, I show primary key with text property and querying with value property.</p>
  
  <p>I want also to get selected item's other property such as name without querying <code>dataset</code> that binds to <code>dropdownlist</code> or querying database. </p>
  
  <p>How can I do that?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:DropDownList ID="ddl" runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;asp:ListItem Text="ItemID" Value="ItemID"&gt;&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt; // I want get item's name
  &lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt;
  </code></pre>
