ASP.Net remove item from drop down list?

I have a drop down list which is filled via a DataGrid. In certain cases I would like to remove some items from this list. The variable "SoftwareToRemoveFromList" will be filled with the item I want to remove.

So far I have this code:

    Dim removeListItem As ListItem = SoftwareDropDown.Items.FindByText(SoftwareToRemoveFromList)
        SoftwareDropDown.Items.Remove(removeListItem)

This runs without error and the contents of "removeListItem" has the string that I want to remove from the drop down. However, when it runs it doesn't actually remove anything from the drop down? Just wondering what I'm missing here?

Removing by index works for me

    Dim removeListItem As Integer = SoftwareDropDown.Items.IndexOf(SoftwareDropDown.Items.FindByText(SoftwareToRemoveFromList))
    SoftwareDropDown.Items.RemoveAt(removeListItem)
