removing items from dropdownlist

removing items from dropdownlist:





I have 2 dropdownlist defined in a file, both of them gets text and value from DB. aspx file has a delete link, to delete the item from the DB. I wrote a fn that deletes the value from DB but the dropdown still displays the old value as i assign those values in pageload.





Inorder to display the current valid values , either i need to reload the dropdown or delete that particulat item from dropdown as well.





Can anyone suggest me how do I delete the Item from the dropdown, using the value?





here is the piece of code from pageload


-------------------------


Do While Not objRS.EOF


DropDown1.Items.Add(New ListItem(CType(objRS("NAME").value, String), objRS("USERID").value))


objRS.MoveNext()


Loop





------------------------





I delete the row with userId





Thanks,
