The Delete Column in a Datagrid

[barrylowe]

I have a datagrid which which display a list of records. In it I have a delete column which will quite happily allow the user to delete a selected row.

My problem is that I want to prompt the user before the deletion takes place. you know, the standard "Are you sure you want to delete?" message.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

You'll have to add a javascript function to the button e.g.

onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?');"

I don't have a button. All I have is a ButtonColumn in the datagrid and as far as I can tell it does not have an onclick event.

I have found an excellent article with example on a different website:

You have two options as far as I can remember:

1) Set the ButtonType property to PushButton to render a button instead
2) Use a TemplateColumn instead and add a button in it
