Question

I have the following gridview

<asp:GridView DataSourceID="odsRooms" DataKeyNames="id,objectid" ID="gvRooms" PageSize="10" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" >
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" HeaderStyle-VerticalAlign="Bottom" HeaderText="Name">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <%# Eval("title")%>                    
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:TextBox ID="tbRoomname" MaxLength="20" Text='<%# Bind("title")%>' runat="server" />                    
    </EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:CommandField ValidationGroup="updateroom" ShowDeleteButton="true" DeleteText="Delete" ShowEditButton="true" EditText="Edit" CancelText="Cancel"  />
</Columns>        
</asp:GridView>

Now, everything works nicely, but when the user clicks te delete button in the CommandField row, the item is deleted immediately without asking for confirmation.
I wish to add the following attribute to the delete button of the Commandfield:
OnClientClick=”javascript:return confirm(‘You sure to delete?’);”

How can I do so?

Use the follwoing code

protected void gvRooms_RowDataBound(object sender, 
                     GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
   {
       LinkButton lb = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[1].Controls[1];
       if( lb != null )
       {
           lb.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:return " +
"confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this record ')");
       }      
   }

}
