How to select a drop down item using Selenium in C# from a Listbox with Dynamic (changing) Xpath value on every page load

This might not be a perfect answer, or the best way to do this, but I was able to solve this issue using JavaScript. Used an Array to store the dynamic ids at run time, and later used them to create string to find the required element on DOM. Below is the my code.

int numberOfEntriesOnPage = System.Convert.ToInt32(((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("return document.getElementsByName('Entries.index').length"));
string[] array = new string[numberOfEntriesOnPage];
         for (int a = 0; a < numberOfEntriesOnPage; a++)
            {
                String script = "return document.getElementsByName('Entries.index')[" + a + "].value";
                array[a] = ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript(script).ToString();
                Console.WriteLine("Array value:" + array[a]);
                string rowTypeID = "Entries_" + array[a] + "__TypeID";

                select_select_by_index(By.Id("Entries_" + array[a] + "__TypeID"), 1);
                IWebElement selectOrg = find_element(By.Name("Entries[" + array[a] + "].OrganisationID_input"));
                selectOrg.Clear();
                selectOrg.SendKeys("3801 LTD");

                IWebElement selectInOffice = driver.FindElement(By.Id("Entries_" + array[a] + "__InOffice"));
                selectInOffice.Clear();
                selectInOffice.SendKeys("10");

                IWebElement selectOffsite = driver.FindElement(By.Id("Entries_" + array[a] + "__Offsite"));
                selectOffsite.Clear();
                selectOffsite.SendKeys("5");

                IWebElement comments = driver.FindElement(By.Id("Entries_" + array[a] + "__Comment"));
                comments.Clear();
                comments.SendKeys(array[a] + "Manish test");

                IWebElement save = find_element(By.XPath("//button[@value='SaveDraft']"));

                save.Click();

            }

public static void select_select_by_index(By by, int index)
    {
        var select = new SelectElement(find_element(by));
        select.SelectByIndex(index);
    }
