Web page Drop down list populating

[Pete Lux]

I have a drop down that populates on page load. The drop down brings in
customer numbers from my local MSDE database. It does this fine, but I click
a button that finds quotes for those customers and the next time I go to
drop down the list, all the customer numbers are doubled
(1015,1016,1017,1015,1016,1017..)

How do I get that to stop? Do I have to check if it's a post back or
something like that?

I'm fairly new at this, if you can't tell..
Thanks!

Two possibilities:

One - The code populating the dropdown list is NOT in an:

If NOT Page.IsPostBack THEN

End If

if so then the list is getting populated every time the page is loaded,
whether postback or no...

Two: On the line BEFORE the code to populate the dropdown list add this:

DropDownList1.Items.Clear()

Then let the code populate the list again.

Herfried,
Please how many times do I have to ask this, dont do that, the answer from
DGeorge is the right one, he never get that in the groups you mentioned.

It is 100% vb.language code.

But the problem is 0% related to VB.NET.
