Hello,

Any ideas why this code will not remove listitems for the dropdownlist?

    Protected Sub CullProjects()
    Dim ProjectName As String
        If Me.gvRequestProjects.Rows.Count > 0 Then
            For Each row As GridViewRow In Me.gvRequestProjects.Rows
                ProjectName =
Trim(Me.gvRequestProjects.DataKeys(row.RowIndex).Values(1).ToString)
                Me.ddlProjects.Items.Remove(ProjectName)
            Next
        End If
    End Sub

ProjectName is a valid name of an item in the ddl.  Using something very
similar to this on a one-by-one basis and it works correctly but not in this
code.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

might be because the indexes of the datagrid will be corrupt when you
deleting items in a loop after which is joined by same collection.
I've had nearly the same problem with a listbox and solved it by an opposite
way.
Means writing all items which are not selected in a list and bind them with
the listbox AFTER the ForEach - Loop.

Public Sub btn_removejob_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Dim lst_joblist As WebControls.ListBox
Dim lic_joblist As New WebControls.ListItemCollection()
Dim lst_tmpitem As WebControls.ListItem
For Each lst_tmpitem In lst_joblist.Items
  If lst_tmpitem.Selected = False Then
   lic_joblist.Add(lst_tmpitem.Text)
  End If
Next
lst_joblist.DataSource = lic_joblist
lst_joblist.DataBind()
end sub

Hope this will solve your problem.

regards
phil
