asp.net: How can I remove an item from a dropdownl

Question

I have a dropdownlist, and in some cases need to remove an item (in the code-behind). I need to remove the item based on the value of the item.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can use the

myDropDown.Items.Remove(ListItem li);

or

myDropDown.Items.RemoveAt(int index);

to remove it using C#.

Answer 2

myDropDown.Items.Remove(myDropDown.Items.FindByText("Chicago"));

Answer 3

I would add an identifying Id or class to the dropbox and remove using Javascript.
