How to disable a GridView delete button depending on a value in the datasource?

I have a GridView control that has a delete button (hyperlink) in one
column. The datasource table contains a column that has a true/false
indicator showing whether or not the record can be deleted. How can I
enable/disable the delete button depending on the value of the indicator?
Ideally, I would like to make the button invisible where a record cannot be
deleted.

Thanks,

Keith

You will pry have to create your own TemplateColumn that will hold a
delete button (add it to the template(s)). Set its CommandName="De lete"
and it will replace the one 'built into' the GridView just fine (also
disable Deleting in the GridView's properties, otherwise the default one
will also show up).

Once you have a button, you can bind its Visible property to the value
of the indicator.

Hello, I have a GridView bound to a custom object. I set the DataKeyNames property along with the column DataField properties at design time, and bind the GridView to my object at run-time. In the RowDeleting event, I try to access the DataKeys property, but it contains no elements. This is the first time I'm trying to use DatKeyNames and DataKeys. What am I missing here?

After spending two days looking at the options in adding a row to a gridview, I came up with my own that I'd like to share. I only can share pseudo-code right now, but maybe in the future I'll write a full fledged article. I didn't like the options, such as putting your controls (really, DUPLICATING your controls) in the Footer for a variety of reasons. First, I don't like the idea of having to do things twice, including any...
