Hi Vidhyasagaran Muralidharan,

     Anoop, is right use <apex:inputText> insted of <apex:inputField>.
    And please remove ' Void ' return from constractor . It will work fine.
 
Apex Controller-
Public class drop
{
public List<SelectOption> addopt{get;set;}
Public string name{get;set;}
Public drop()
{
addopt= new List<SelectOption>();
}
Public void addlist()
{
addopt.add(new SelectOption(name,name));
}
}
Vf Page-
<apex:page controller="drop">
  <apex:form >
       <apex:inputText value="{!name}"/>
            <apex:selectList id="lis">
                <apex:selectOptions value="{!addOpt}">
                </apex:selectOptions>
            </apex:selectList><p/>
         <apex:commandButton action="{!addlist}" value="Save" reRender="lis"/>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Hi,

Use <apex:inputText value="{!name}"/> as it is a variable.

Try the below code. it will add the value.

// Controller
Public class drop {

    List<SelectOption> addopt= new List<SelectOption>();
    Public string name{get; set; }
    Public string selectedVal{get; set; }
    Public string pickValue{get; set; }
      
    Public List<SelectOption> getpickValues(){
        return addopt;       
    }

    Public void addlist(){        
        if(name!= null){
            addopt.add(new SelectOption(name,name));
        }        
    }
}

<apex:page controller="drop">
<apex:form>
    <apex:inputText value="{!name}"/> <br/>
    <apex:selectList value="{!pickValue}" id="lis" size="1">
        <apex:selectOptions value="{!pickvalues}">
        </apex:selectOptions>
    </apex:selectList><p/>
    <apex:commandButton action="{!addlist}" value="Save" reRender="lis"/>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
