Question

I am trying to implement the deleting method and pass my parameters for the delete operation. I am using sqldatasource. Since the ID doesnt have a column in my gridview how can I get the value of the ID and set it as my delete parameter?

Answer 1

ID doesn’t need a column in the GridView, as long as it is in the datasource. Here’s a simple GridView tutorial explaining the procedure…

Their RowDeleting handler…

protected void GridView1_RowDeleting(object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
{
  customer.Delete(GridView1.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Values[0].ToString());
  FillCustomerInGrid();
}
