You have to convert the autogenerated delete button to a template field like this.. So replace asp : CommandField ShowDeleteButton=True /> With the below line of code.. ItemTemplate > asp : LinkButton ID=LinkButtonDelete ToolTip=Delete with Confirmation CommandName=Delete runat=server OnClientClick=return confirm ( 'Are you sure you want to delete this video?');/> ItemTemplate > asp : TemplateField> Then In the Rowcommand event of the gridview you can perform your deleted task after confirmation like this.. protected void VideoList_RowCommand ( object source GridViewCommandEventArgs e) { try { if ( e. CommandName == Delete) { // Perform your delete code here... } catch { } } Hope this will help you... If it helps.. marks as accepted..
