Remove one item from a dropdownlist...

Hello, I have a problem with removing only one item from a dropdownlist. I have used the following code by now:With ddlCallStatus .DataSource = Get_Status() ' Fill the dropdownlist .DataValueField = "Lfd_Nr_FK" .DataTextField = "FK_Text" .DataBind() .Items.Insert(0, New ListItem("", "0")) .Items.Remove("Call closed") End WithMy problem is the line .items.remove("Call closed"). This listitem has the value '34' and the text 'Call closed'. But it won´t remove from the list. Can anyone help me in the correct syntax for removing this item. Thanks, ...
