I have an odd result trying to remove an individual item from a listbox.

Here's my one line of code:
I am using the "item as string" overload of the Remove method.

thisEvent.Tables("Attendees").Rows(i).Item("Attend eeType") returns a string value that matches an item text in the listbox. I have also tried CStr to cast the return value as a String.

At run time I get no errors, but the item is not removed from the listbox. Any ideas?


Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hello,

Are you rebinding the listbox everytime, first off? In not, can you verify that the entry returned is in the list (although this would probably return an error)?

if u get ur Data from DB its better to not retrieve them & not removing them later.

I am not rebinding the listbox on every postback. I use If Not Page.IsPostBack to do the initial load.

I was able to solve the problem. Instead of removing a matching string value, I defined a new ListItem and removed that.

Dim thisItem As New ListItem
thisItem.Text = AttLabel.Text
thisItem.Value = thisEvent.Tables("Attendees").Rows(i).Item("Attend eeTypeID")
lbxAttendee.Items.Remove(thisItem)

This worked. I guess the overload for matching the string/text values isn't reliable.
