An option is just an integer. You'll need to map your options to their integer values and insert them.

line1.Type = SalesOrderRef.Type.Item;


You can look on this post as example

here is an example on how to create a customer record. I'm assuming the values for Option to be Male Female.

MyContact.Contact_Service ContWS = new WebServiceApp.MyContact.Contact_Service();
ContWS.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
MyContact.Contact MyCont = new WebServiceApp.MyContact.Contact();
MyCont = ContWS.Read("10000");
MyCont.Name = "New Name";
MyCont.Gender  = MyContact.Gender.Male;
ContWS.Update(ref MyCont);

Since in your app the option are string, you need to compare string and then assign it.

if MyContact.Gender.Male.toString = ddl_gender.SelectedValue.ToString then
MyCont.Gender = MyContact.Gender.Male
else
MyCont.Gender = MyContact.Gender.Female


I don't have VS in front of me to confirm this.
