Finding the delete button in a datagrid

When I want to add a js confirm box to a delete button that is
positioned in the last column in a datagrid row I do the following in
the ItemDataBound event:

Dim delBtn As LinkButton = e.Item.Cells(10 ).Controls(0)
delBtn.Attribut es("onclick") = "javascript:ret urn confirm('you
sure?');"

If I want to change an image in a datagrid row I do the following in
the ItemDataBound event:

Dim imgX As System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Imag e =
CType(e.Item.Fi ndControl("imgX "), System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Imag e)
imgX.ImageUrl = "image.gif"

If I add a new column to the grid the reference using the cell number
breaks (e.Item.Cells(1 0).Controls(0) is now
e.Item.Cells(11 ).Controls(0)). The reference using the FindControl
method off course still works.

Is there a way to reference the Delete button so that adding new
columns don't break the code?

Hi

A simple solution would be just to use the fact that you know that the
"delete column" is the last column.

That is:

Count - 1

Hello, I am developing a web form that contains some buttons and a data grid which has as its last column link buttons that will delete the data associated with that row.

Hi experts, I want to add a delete button in my datagrid, and before it deletes from database, I want to have a confirm dialog box for this deletion. I am entry level to the vb.net, and don't know java or c#. The problem is, when I tested the program, there is no pop-up confirmation box for the deletion, can you show me what' wrong with this code? Thank you.

All the rows in a DataGrid are accompanied by a CheckBox. When a user checks the rows & clicks a Button, the checked rows get deleted. For e.g. assume that the DataGrid displays 10 rows. A user checks the rows 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10. When he clicks the Button, the page posts & the next page displays only 5 rows i.e. row 1, 3, 5, 7 & 9. The checked rows are populated in a ViewState variable & will have values like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, (note that there...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
