binding a dropdown list C# .NET

I am using a databound dropdown list bound to a sql datasource in C# .NET environment. When the user opts to delete an entry from the dropdown list, the dropdown list does not reflect the change, even on postback.
i.e. ddlColors = red, yellow, blue, green; user selects to delete red; ddlColors = red, yellow, blue, green. Red is still displayed.
I am able to clear the dropdown list with ddlColors.ClearSelection(); But I don't know how to repopulate the dropdown list to display the updated datasource.

After you remove the item from the drop down list are you calling dropdownlist.DataBind()?
