set autopostback as 'false' for dropdown.

C#

<asp:dropdownlist id="DropDownList1" runat="server" autopostback="false"  />

Solution 2

try this.

C#

protected void gridView_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
        {
            int index = e.NewEditIndex;
            var ddl = gridView.Rows[index].FindControl("YourDropdownlistname") as DropDownList;
            string text = ddl.SelectedItem.Text;
            string value = ddl.SelectedItem.Value;
        }
