Why am I getting an out of rang exception with the following "for loop"?

           int dropDownCount = actionMenu.DropDownItems.Count;
            if(dropDownCount > 6)
            {
                for (int index = 6; index < dropDownCount; index++)
                {
                    actionMenu.DropDownItems.RemoveAt(index);

                }
            }

Thanks.

Or even,

  while(actionMenu.DropDownItems.Count > 6)
    actionMenu.DropDownItems.RemoveAt(6);

Nop, I was trying to remove all items after the 6th item.  I got it working now.  You see, the count is changing with each item I remove so it eventually ran out and got the exception error.  Thanks.

I believe the reason is that you alter underlying collection, and therefore alter the count of items.

Try to use 'while' loop:

while(actionMenu.DropDownItems.Count>6){
    actionMenu.DropDownItems.RemoveAt(6);
}
