Populate integers to dropdownlist using a loop

Question

Can't figure out why my program wont populate my DropDownList using a loop. So far I've tried these two scenarios: ``` 'Fill in the year box from current year to 100 years ago. '(Safe to assume no one over 100 will be signing up for site) Dim CurYear As Integer = Date.Now.Year Dim CurYearMinus100 As Integer = CurYear - 100 Dim Index As Integer = 0 Do While CurYear >= CurYearMinus100 DropDownListYear.Items.Insert(Index, CurYear) Index += 1 CurYear -= 1 Loop ``` I've also tried using the `.Add()` functionality instead of insert: ``` Dim CurYear As Integer = Date.Now.Year Dim CurYearMinus100 As Integer = CurYear - 100 Do While CurYear >= CurYearMinus100 DropDownListYear.Items.Add(Index) CurYear -= 1 Loop ```

Accepted Answer

Not sure why you need `Index`, but this code will work:

```
Dim CurYear As Integer = Date.Now.Year
Dim CurYearMinus100 As Integer = CurYear - 100

Do While CurYear >= CurYearMinus100
    DropDownListYear.Items.Add(New ListItem(CurYear.ToString(), CurYear.ToString()))
    CurYear -= 1
Loop
```
