How to reference the inner text of a drop down box
<p>im trying to check for a specific word in a dropdown box before sending an SMS 
this is what i have </p>

<p><code></p>

<pre><code> if (grdvHandSets.Rows[i].Cells[4].Text == "Port" &amp;&amp; grdvHandSets.Rows[i].Cells[16].Text != String.Empty) //Only send SMS if Type = Port and ConDate isnt empty
            {
                SmsBody = string.Format("Your order has been despatched to" + lblDespatchPostCode.Text + ". via Royal Mail next day special delivery. Your number/s are due to transfer on" + grdvHandSets.Rows[i].Cells[16].Text + ". Kind Regards BPD");
                //objSms.SendSms(phonenum, SmsBody);
            }
</code></pre>

<p></code></p>

<p>Its the first part where im saying grdvHandSets.Rows[i].Cells[4].Text == "Port" which is a drop down box i thought text would work but it comes up with "" when im debugging.... any help?</p>
