//ask for confirmation
e.Cancel = true;
}

how to ask for confirmation; i don't want cause a postback.

[dannystommen]

I don't know exactly how, but if you don't want postback, you need to use a clientside script such as Javascript.

But why don't you want a postback?

[toraj58]

basically user is not convenience with a postback.

there is javascript fanction (confirm) that ask a question from the user but i don't know how to access the returned answer in asp.net.

i have done it before in PHP.

[dannystommen]

if you use an AJAX update panel, the user won't see the postback

i tried to install AJAX for .net 2.0 in visual stadio 2005 but when i wanted to add the library to the toolbox unfortunately i recied error.... it seems that ajax for .net 2.0 is not stable.

You can provide the 'Delete' link button in template field and write something like this in its onClientClick event


<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="btnDelete" CommandName="Delete"

OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?');" Text="Delete" ></asp:LinkButton>
