Clearing a dropdownlist in the code behind

PK9
Can someone help me with the syntax for clearing (removing) all items out of
an asp:dropdownlist from the code behind? Is there a clear method?

Hi,

Try the clear method of the items collection.

DropDownList1.Items.Clear();

Hope this helps.

The Items property has a collection of the items. You can clear it, add or
remove items.
