Hello Syth,

You can try out the following code to access the dropdownlist's selected value in the ServerValidate event of the CustomValidator:
c#:

Private Sub validator3_ServerValidate(source As Object, args As ServerValidateEventArgs)
    Dim clickedItem As GridDataItem = DirectCast((DirectCast(source, CustomValidator)).NamingContainer, GridDataItem)
    Dim value As String = (DirectCast(clickedItem("FullName").Controls(0), DropDownList)).SelectedValue

End Sub

Thanks
Princy.
