I came across this code snippet in my previous project :):laugh: [WebMethod] public DataTable GetEmployeeData(DropDownList ddlEmployee) { string empID = ddlEmployee.SelectedValue.ToString(); //do database operation }

Make another version that takes a string, redirect the current one to the new one, and mark the current one as Obsolete. See who complains. :)
