Confirm Message Box before Deleting

Confirm Message Box before Deleting in Datagrid in ASP.Net is very useful in all applications.

Confirm Message Box before Deleting

Scenarion I

To use confirm Message box before delete operation uses JavaScript for confirmation box. You have to add JavaScript on button.

Page_Load

if(!IsPostBack)   btnConfirm.Attributes.Add("onclick","return confirm('Do you want to Delete');");

Once clicked Ok button on Confirm Box it executes Button_Click server event else doesn’t do anything.

btnConfirm_Click
 
//Your server code to delete

Scenario II

The DataList and DataGrid controls easily allow to add a "Delete" button/hyperlink in your template. When clicked, this button/link raises a DeleteCommand event that you can handle to delete the data item.

<asp:datagrid id="dg" runat="server"AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:ButtonColumn Text="Delete" ButtonType="PushButton" CommandName="Delete"></asp:ButtonColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid>

DataGrid’s Template Delete Button raises DeleteCommand event after clicking Delete Button of DataGrid. We needs to write javascript confirm method to this template button. This should be write in DataGrid’s ItemCreated event because it fires when datagrid’s item has been created.

private void dg_ItemCreated(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
 
//Check for Item and Alternate Items if(e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.Item)
  {
 Button btn=(Button)e.Item.Cells[0].Controls[0];
btn.Attributes.Add("onclick","return confirm(‘Do you want to continue?’);");
  }

}

hello

use this

'Shows a confirmation box when button delete is clicked
        BtnDelete.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm('are you sure you want to delete? ');")

c#.net

BtnDelete.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm('are you sure you want to delete? ');");

hello

The javascript code for it is simple:


function confirm_delete()
{
  if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete the custom search?")==true)
    return true;
  else
    return false;
}


Using code-behind, you can attach the javascript popup dialog to the button:


_myButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm_delete();");


If the button is inside a repeater (in this case called Searches), for example, which most of mine our, you have to attach it as follows by handling the ItemCreated event:

override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
   base.OnInit(e);
   this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);
   Searches.ItemCreated += new RepeaterItemEventHandler(this.Item_Created);
   Searches.ItemCommand += new RepeaterCommandEventHandler(this.DeleteSearch_Click);
}

private void Item_Created(Object Sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
      {
            ImageButton _myButton = (ImageButton)e.Item.FindControl("btnDelete");
            _myButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm_delete();");
      }
}

private void DeleteSearch_Click(object sender, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
    int _id = Int32.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
    // Do Your Thing...
}


Inside your repeater, you add the button as such:


... ImageButton id=btnDelete ImageUrl="images/icon_delete.gif" runat="server" CommandArgument='<%# ((DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["ID"] %> ...

When you click on the delete button, the javascript popup dialog asks if you want to delete the search. If you choose “cancel“, your “DeleteSearch_Click” event is never fired. If you choose “ok”, the event is fired and you can delete the item.

Adds a bit of professionalism to your web applications without requiring a lot of effort.

Hi, I tried the above javascript code, confirm_delete() but to my chagrin cancel also deletes, even close deletes.

DataGrid’s Template Delete Button raises DeleteCommand event after clicking Delete Button of DataGrid. We needs to write javascript confirm method to this template button. This should be write in DataGrid’s ItemCreated event because it fires when datagrid’s item has been created.

private void dg_ItemCreated(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)

//Check for Item and Alternate Items if(e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.Item)
  {
 Button btn=(Button)e.Item.Cells[0].Controls[0];
btn.Attributes.Add("onclick","return confirm(‘Do you want to continue?’);");
  }

}

The confirmation message should pop up on delete button click but after checking some condition. If the condition is false the confirmation message should not pop up. If there is some code for this please let me know.   It's very urgent.

Thanks in advance.
