ASP.NET GridView Confirm Delete Button Field

Here is a quick and easy reusable "ConfirmButtonField" for use on an ASP.NET GridView

Just simply derive from ButtonField and override a couple things:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace CreateSoftwareUtils.Web.GridViewControls

{

    public class ConfirmButtonField : ButtonField

    {

        public override void InitializeCell(DataControlFieldCell cell, DataControlCellType cellType, DataControlRowState rowState, int rowIndex)

        {

            base.InitializeCell(cell, cellType, rowState, rowIndex);

            if(cellType == DataControlCellType.DataCell)

            {

                cell.Attributes.Add("onclick","return confirm(\"Are you sure?\");");

            }

        }

    }

}

Then on the ASPX page you can do this:

<asp:GridViewID="gvEquipment"runat="server"AutoGenerateColumns="false"DataKeyNames="ProductId">

    <Columns>                                                                 

        <cs:ConfirmButtonField ButtonType="Link"Text="Delete"CommandName="Delete"/>

        <asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Link"Text="View/Edit"CommandName="Select"/>

        <asp:BoundField DataField="Name"HeaderText="Title"HeaderStyle-Width="300px"ItemStyle-Width="300px"ItemStyle-Wrap="true"/>

        <asp:BoundField DataField="PriceDaily"HeaderText="Daily Rate"DataFormatString="{0:c}"HeaderStyle-Width="80px"/>

    </Columns>

</asp:GridView>

I also like to register controls I am going to use all over the site in the Web.Config like this:

<add tagPrefix="cs"namespace="CreateSoftwareUtils.Web.GridViewControls"assembly="CreateSoftwareUtils"/>
