Get value of md-select from template reference variable, Material for Angular 2

Question

This isn't showing the selected value like it would if it were a textbox instead of a select. What's wrong?

<md-select #mySelect>
    <md-option value="1">one</md-option>
    <md-option value="2">two</md-option>
</md-select>
{{ mySelect.value }}

Answer 1

Try #variable.selected.value like this:

<md-select #mySelect>
    <md-option value="1">one</md-option>
    <md-option value="2">two</md-option>
</md-select>
<div *ngIf="mySelect.selected">
    {{mySelect.selected.value}}
</div>
