How can I hide a date value if it is less than current date?
<p>I have the following date dropdownlist options:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;asp:DropDownList id="eventsDate" runat="server"&gt;
   &lt;asp:ListItem Value="04/31/2012"&gt;Apr 31, 2012&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt;
   &lt;asp:ListItem Value="05/21/2012"&gt;May 21, 2012&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt;
   &lt;asp:ListItem Value="07/22/2012"&gt;Jul 22, 2012&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt;
   &lt;asp:ListItem Value="10/16/2012"&gt;Oct 16, 2012&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt;
   &lt;asp:ListItem Value="11/12/2012"&gt;Nov 12, 2012&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt;
   &lt;asp:ListItem Value="12/18/2012"&gt;Dec 18, 2012&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt;
&lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>If any of the dates in the dropdown is less than today's date, hide it.</p>

<p>For instance, today's day is April 26, 2012. Assuming that the first date on the dropdownlist is April 25, 2012, it should not show up on the dropdownlist.</p>

<p>I am drawing blanks.</p>
