pnlNewCust.Visible = False
dgCustList.Visible = False
btnAddCust.Visible = False
Dim intCustId = dgCustList.DataKeys(Convert.ToInt32(e.Item.ItemIndex))
Dim Data As DataObjVB
Data = New DataObjVB()

Private Sub dgCustList_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles dgCustList.ItemCreated

Select Case e.Item.ItemType

Case ListItemType.Item, ListItemType.AlternatingItem, ListItemType.EditItem

Dim myTableCell As TableCell

myTableCell = e.Item.Cells(4)   ' 4 indicates the column number which has delete button
Dim myDeleteButton As LinkButton

myDeleteButton = myTableCell.Controls(0)
myDeleteButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this ?');")
End Select

End Sub

thanks I tried it but got this message
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: index 
I guess that ought to be related to the index of the Datakeyfield generated from in the Datagrid?
how do I fix that part..?
thank you

Hi,

        Sorry for the late reply. I was on leave. The error is due to the index which you have specified is wrong. U have to change the index in,

              myTabelcell=e.item.cells(4) , 
As i have mentioned earlier, cells(4)  indicates the column number in which you have the delete link button. The indexes of the grid will start from zero. change the index and see it will really work.
