Question

I am displaying a table in a grid view in a asp.net webpage. I want the user to select one row in the website and delete it. How can I do that. I have a delete button in the same page, where I will do code behind to drop the row in the database. But my problem is how can user select one row in the table .

 <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" CssClass="style29">
     <Columns>
         <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Send Message to Group">
         <ItemTemplate>
             <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" 
             PostBackUrl='<%# Eval("GroupName", "SendMessage.aspx?GroupName={0}") %>' 
             Text='Send Message'></asp:LinkButton>
        </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Is it possible to do without a check box? Or can I add a delete image to the table in a separate column and on clicking the button the row will be deleted.

You should add:

<asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True"/>

on your gridview.
