hi friend Here is you Grid with check box: The code behing logic for Delete button : protected void ButtonDelete_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { StringCollection sc = new StringCollection(); string id = string.Empty; for (int i = 0; i { CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].FindControl(CheckBox1); //find the CheckBox if (cb != null) { if (cb.Checked) { id = GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[1].Text; // get the id of the field to be deleted sc.Add(id); // add the id to be deleted in the StringCollection } } } DeleteRecords(sc); // call method for delete and pass the StringCollection values BindGridView(); // Bind GridView to reflect changes made here } Now you can add javascript too for confirmation: function ConfirmOnDelete(item) { if (confirm(The following item(s) will be deleted:  + item + Continue?)==true) return true; else return false; } and bind this javascript confrimation box with grid view's Delete button in its RowDataBound event: protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header) //check for RowType { Button b = (Button)e.Row.FindControl(ButtonDelete); //access the LinkButton from the Header TemplateField using FindControl b.Attributes.Add(onclick return ConfirmOnDelete();); //attach the JavaScript function } } I think this is complete row material what you were looking for.... Please mark as answer if it helps.
