    LINQ and dropdownlists

    Hi there,

    I just started working with Linq and am having trouble with adding and
    removing items from a dropdownlist. The dropdownlist is bound to a
    LinqDataSource. On the form is a gridview that lists some statistics
    for a product and a value for each stat line. There is also an Add
    statistic line in the template footer with a dropdownlist that should
    have any statistics not currently associated with the product. I can
    make that work but what I am having issue with is what to do if a
    Statistic line is deleted but the data has not actually been updated
    yet...how do I remove the Statistic value from the dropdownlist if the
    database hasn't been impacted yet? I tried this and nothing happens.

    protected void DropDownList1_D ataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    DropDownList ddl = sender as DropDownList;
    foreach (StatData sd in StatData)
    {

    ddl.Items.Remov e(ddl.Items.Fin dByValue(sd.Sta tisticName));
    }
    }

    I feel like it should be done with filtering somehow but am unsure.
    Thanks for any help!
Working...
