Can I get a Confirm box? 1

[qwert231]

I have my datagrid, all happy and functional... updates and everything. However, I have a Delete button that does nothing. Why? Because I don't want them to use it unless I can warn them.

So, I would like to have some sort of Confirm box, like, 'do you really want to do this?'. It looks like I'll have to do that Javascript side, BUT, can I then call my .Net code that deletes the item? Or do I need do do something else.

Hey qwert (or whoever you are)


You can do it from code behind. Just add this sub

Private Sub YOURDATAGRID_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles YOURDATAGRID.ItemDataBound

If Not (e.Item.FindControl("Delete&quot Is Nothing) Then
Dim Button As New ImageButton()
Button = e.Item.FindControl("Delete&quot
Button.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete this item?');&quot
End If
End Sub


I use an image button for my delete, but if you have a link button or something else, just switch the
Dim Button as New statement to whatever you use.

Hey, btw, I cleared outmy cookies, and when I re-logged in it gave me the right username, so maybe thats all there is to fix our little name-swap. Still seems weird that it happened though.

Yup, thanks.
And Dave said if it happens again, just call him and let him know.
