Hi buddy,

Here is the sample code for your query, check it out.

see the HTML part of the GridView code:

Code:

<asp:GridView DataKeyNames="CategoryID" ID="GridView1" 
       runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
       OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand" 
       OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound" 
       OnRowDeleted="GridView1_RowDeleted" OnRowDeleting="GridView1_RowDeleting">
  <Columns>
   <asp:BoundField DataField="CategoryID" HeaderText="CategoryID" />
   <asp:BoundField DataField="CategoryName" HeaderText="CategoryName" />
   <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Select">
     <ItemTemplate>
       <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" 
         CommandArgument='<%# Eval("CategoryID") %>' 
         CommandName="Delete" runat="server">
         Delete</asp:LinkButton>
     </ItemTemplate>
   </asp:TemplateField>
  </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

see the GridView_RowBound event

Code:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, 
                         GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
  {
    LinkButton l = (LinkButton)e.Row.FindControl("LinkButton1"); 
    l.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:return " +
    "confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this record " +
    DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "CategoryID") + "')"); 
  }
}

This is pretty simple. All you need to do is to get the value from the CommandArgument property which you have already set to the CategoryID.

Code:

protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, 
                         GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.CommandName == "Delete")
  {
    // get the categoryID of the clicked row
    int categoryID = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
    // Delete the record 
    DeleteRecordByID(categoryID);
    // Implement this on your own :) 
  }
}

see how we can catch the primary key of the clicked row in the Row_Deleting event.

Code:

<asp:GridView DataKeyNames="CategoryID" ID="GridView1" 
     runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
     OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand" 
     OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound"
     OnRowDeleted="GridView1_RowDeleted" 
     OnRowDeleting="GridView1_RowDeleting">

protected void GridView1_RowDeleting(object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
{
  int categoryID = (int) GridView1.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Value;
  DeleteRecordByID(categoryID); 
}

that's it...
