Confirming a Deletion

MRW
Hello!

I'm trying to execute a code so when a record in a DetailsView is
deleted, it will first have to be confirmed (with as little code as
possible). The DetailsView is attacked to an ObjectDataSourc e. I was
thinking of having the ItemDeleting command 'intercept' the delete
command and make a confirmation button visible on the screen, THEN when
the person clicks the button the ObjectDataSourc e executes the delete
command. My question is, is there a way, in the ItemDeleting command
to stop the deletion command from executing?

Thanks for any help!

Here's some server side code that uses javascript to display a confirmation
message.

myDeleteButton. Attributes.Add( "onclick", _
"return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?');")

In this example, the Delete button will post back only if the person
confirms they want to delete. Otherwise the server code is never called in
response to the button click.

Here's more info:

Mmm... I'll have to take a look at it. Thanks!

My original idea was to place my DetailsView in one set of div tags,
and my confirmation line (with record information) in another. When
the delete button is pressed, I wanted the first div tag to become
invisible and the second one to become visible.

Oh well...

Hi, I have a requirement on improving the deletion rate on on records of a table. The table contains 5 million records, but since deleting everything matching the condition at one go was giving the ROLLBACK segment allocation error, the query was called in a loop and deleting 2000 rows at one interation.

Can someone suggest a good editor? I'm using WinEdit right now and I'm not that happy with it (I seem to have an old edition and I'm not sure if it was made by the same organization at www.winedit.com). I'm trying the new version now but would like some advice and comments on other editors and how you like them. Thanks Pmb

I have one table with columns that are used as foreign-keys from several other tables. Sometimes deletion from this table takes +5 seconds for a single row. Are there any utilities that can be used to figure out why the deletion takes so long? "ANALYZE DELETE FROM foo WHERE bar=gazonk" doesn't really help as it only explains how the where statement is resolved, and not what postgres has to do to preserve database integrity. Regards,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
