You can use javascript confirm for the same purpose.

function confirm_delete() { if ( confirm( "Are you sure you want to delete the Record?") == true ) return true; else return false; } try this javascript in ur html view code and write this code in ur itemcreated event of grid try { if ( e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem ) { _myButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm_delete();"); } } regards, suresh

Actually when a user clicks on the delete button, it is not at all required to go to the server and show the confirmation message. Inspite you can use javascript for that it will remain there in client side only. And suresh has given the complete sample code for that.

Your message box - it might appear on your web server...

You are correct in sense that the code is executed on the server, so if a message box would appear, it would appear on the server. The ASP.NET environment is specified as not having any user interface, though, so an attempt to display a message box will cause an exception.
