Answer 1

Assuming that you have a variable referenced to your DropDownList:

if (myDropDownList.Count > 0)
{
    string myValue = myDropDownList.Items[myDropDownList.Items.Count - 1].Value;
}

Note that you should probably check that the DropDownList has items first, or else this will throw an IndexOutOfBounds exception when the list is empty. Thanks @Cylon.

Answer 2

Something like cboTemp.SelectedIndex = cboTemp.Items.Count -1;

Answer 3

var last = cmbMyList.Items.OfType<ListItem>().LastOrDefault();
