databound listbox

I'm having trouble with a databound listbox

In the help files for vb.net it says to just bind the listbox again after new data has been Inserted. This produces Duplicates in the listbox. How do i clear the databox before i re-bind it?

listbox1.Datasource.Clear() does nothing or so it seems.

 

Simpley put, i want to empty the listbox then rebind it.

To clear a list box of all items use this:

ListBox1.Items.Clear()

This will remove all items from it.

"Error: Can't modify the Items collection when the DataSource property is set." I need some method of discarding the existing datasource before i can edit the listbox items.

Oh, sorry I misread a part of your post (I dont know why :)).

You would first need to eliminate the DataSource, by setting it to Nothing.

Ok i set the datasource to nothing

But somthing still isnt right.

Listbox2.Datasource = Nothing
Listbox2.Items.Clear() '<--  does nothing now
Listbox2.Items.Add("test string")' <-- does not appear in the listbox

It works for me.

I had multiple bindings my bad.

Thanks a lot for your help Mutant
