clearing a dropdownlist

[jonbob]

I have a page that lists a number of items drawn from a database. These are displayed in a drop down list. Then, on the same page, you can add a item to the database and the dropdownlist is populated again. The problem is, that it is just appending to it. So I want to clear the Drop Down List before I populate it a second time. Does anyone know how to do this? Here is what I tried to do, but it didn't work:

dim li as listItem
	for each li in DDL.items
     DDL.items.remove(li)
	Next

I figured it out, incase anyone cares

Sub clear()

	dim li as listItem
	Dim i as integer = 0
	Dim int as integer = DropDownList.items.count
	for i = 0 to int - 1
  DropDownList.items.removeAt(0)
	Next

End Sub
