Adding Attributes to buttons within datagrid

i was using the following on a serverside button on a form
If (Not Page.IsPostBack ) Then

Me.BtnDelete.At tributes.Add("o nclick","return confirm('Are you sure you want
to delete?');")

End If

but was wondering how i would go about doing the same for a button within a
column? i cannot see btnDelete in the code-behind page

Cheers,
Craig

Hook into the ItemDataBound event of the DataGrid. There'll you'll be able
to find BtnDelete via:

dim delete as Button = ctype(e.Item.Fi ndControl("btnD elete"), button)
check out my tutorial on databinding for more info:

delete is nothing..this is possible under a number of circumstances.

dim delete as Button = ctype(e.Item.Fi ndControl("btnD elete"), button)
if not delete is nothing then
delete.Attribut es.Add("onclick ", "return confirm('Are you sure you want to
delete?');")

end if

You should check for e.Item.ItemType and make sure it's either an
ListItemType.It em or ListItemType.Al ternatingItem. ItemDataBound fires even
when the header/footer/paging is being created, in those templates you don't
have a btnDelete, which is why you are getting a null reference. The
tutorial goes over that stuff.

I know that JavaScript lets us add: ondragenter, ondragover, ondragleave, ondrop events to normal HTML table td tags. This lets us do highlighting of table cells/rows, and capture drag & drop events. So to handle ondrop we can use JavaScript: this.OnDrop = function(obj) { obj.parentElement.style.backgroundColor = "white";
