xpath - Alternative ways for selecting value from drop down list in selenium using java

Question

I have got an error with select the value from drop down list in selenium using java.

//Select the Warehouse
Select Warehouse= new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath(Xpath.warehouse_SVR)));
System.out.println("Element is identified ");
Warehouse.selectByValue("3");
System.out.println("Value is selected");
Thread.sleep(1000);
js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,0)");

I used the methods which are related to select the value from drop down list. Here I mentioned the .selectByValue() method. Even though I used .selectByIndex() or .selectByVisibleText() methods, still I have got the error. What is the possible way to select the value from drop down list?

This is the Html code for that particular drop down list.

<select id="ctl00_cphbody_rptRNDViewer_ctl04_ctl05_ddValue" class="aspNetDisabled" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt; width: 217px;" onchange="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack('ctl00$cphbody$rptRNDViewer$ctl04$ctl05$ddValue','')', 0)" name="ctl00$cphbody$rptRNDViewer$ctl04$ctl05$ddValue">
<option value="1">- All -</option>
<option value="2">Damage Warehouse-1000003061</option>
<option value="3" selected="selected">Primary Warehouse-1000003061</option>
<option value="4">VAN</option>
</select>
