I have a Javascript file that contains the function for calling the confirmation delete window, the code used is similar to the following:
function Delete() { confirm('Delete this user'); }
I have a gridview with a template field that can delete a row in the gridview, this is a snippet of what I have:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Amend" ShowHeader="false"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:LinkButton ID="btnedit" runat="server" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit" ></asp:LinkButton> </ItemTemplate> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:LinkButton ID="btnamend" runat="server" CommandName="Amend" Text="Amend" ></asp:LinkButton> <asp:LinkButton ID="btndelete" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" OnClientClick="return Delete() "></asp:LinkButton> </EditItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField>
Within the aspx.vb page I have code to do the deletion of the record (this works fine), I have this code within the gridview property OnRowDeleting="RowDeleting1"
Protected Sub RowDeleting1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewDeleteEventArgs) ' code to do the deletion
When the confirmation of the delete appears (options are to delete or cancel), the deletion occurs when I click delete or cancel. Ideally I only want the deletion to occur when I click delete and just stay on the page when I click cancel, would anyone be able to advise what I am doing wrong?
