Removing Items from a List Box after setting the DataSource

I have a small requirement and that is as follows:

I am populating a ListBox using stored procedures and the ListBox is populated as follows:

lstItems.DisplayMember = "emp_name"

lstItems.ValueMember = "login_id"

lstItems.DataSource = accessFunction.getEmployees

The ListBox gets populated correctly. After it is populated, i have a CommandButton and on the click event of the button, i want to remove selected items from the ListBox. So in the click event of the CommandButton, i have written the following code:

lstItems.Items.Remove(lstItems.SelectedItem)

After selecting an item from the ListBox and when i click the CommandButton, i get an error as "Item开发者_如何学编程s collection cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set".

Can anyone, please help me as to how i can delete items from the ListBox.

Regards, George

Two easy things to try:

1. Rather than databind, you could fill your list with a loop. Remember to add proper NULL handling (I didn't):

   For each dr as DataRow in myDataTable.Rows newItem = new ListItems(dr("login_id"), dr("emp_name")) lstItems.Add newItem Next

2. Save the datatable from your accessFunction in a variable. Delete the row from the datatable and rebind.

You should follow the instructions in the Error message and instead of removing item from ListBox, remove it from DataSource itself (whatever is returned from accessFunction.getEmployees).
