Please try with "SelectedItem.Text"/"SelectedItem.Value" or "SelectedValue" property instead DropdownList.Text?

Also check whether values comes correctly using debug in code behind

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
if (!IsPostBack)
            {
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["HousingConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("Select Flat from Primary_Member", conn);
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            da.Fill(dt);
           DropDownListFN.DataSource = dt;
           DropDownListFN.DataTextField = "Flat";
            DataBind();
}
        }

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            Response.Redirect("Pdetails.aspx?fnum=" + DropDownListFN.SelectedItem.Text);
        }

        protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Response.Redirect("Fdetails1.aspx?fnum=" + DropDownListFN.SelectedItem.Text);
        }

On changing it to :

Response.Redirect("Pdetails.aspx?fnum=" + DropDownListFN.SelectedItem.Text);

Still the same thing is happening

I think it's because on page load you refresh the list, so selected value got disappear!

Please apply IsPostBack condition in page load to avoid refreshing the list again on everytime!
