Re: msgbox

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I've created a gridview and it has a delete button on each row. "<asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" />".
I want to pop up a messagebox to ask the user Yes/No to ensure to delete the data instead of directly deleted the record.
Can you help me?

As Steven has already explained, server-side code runs on the server and client-side code runs on the client.

MsgBox is a function found in VB Classic and VBScript.

Although you can still use VBScript as a client-side language in ASP.NET, this is not recommended because it will work only in IE.

Therefore, to achieve the functionality you require, you need to use client-side JavaScript.

The JavaScript equivalents of MsgBox is alert();, confirm(); and prompt();

E.g. to ask the user to confirm that they want to do something, you might use the following:

<asp:Button ID="MyButton" runat="server" Text="Delete" OnClick="MyButton_Click" OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure?');" />
