How to delete a row in a dynamically generating grid view? - asp.net

Question

Hello Respected sirs,
I am generating a shopping cart like ordering system, in which i add/bind the productname, productprice, and productquantity from DataTable to GridView.
I have Added an ImageButton to the gridview only for deleting the selected row.
I also know that we can not delete a row from a dynamically generated grid view. so i placed a code in the ImageButton Click event that deletes the row from DataTable (Which is STATIC during the whole process) and again binds the Data With GridView.
Please note that i hv already once bind the data with gridview in my "BTN_ADD TO CART_Clicked".
Here is my code snippet,
protected void gvorderlist_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Delete")
{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
DataRow row = dt.Rows[index];
dt.Rows.Remove(row);
gvorderlist.DataSource = dt;
gvorderlist.DataBind();
}
}
and ASP code is,
<asp:GridView ID="gvorderlist" runat="server" CellPadding="4"
ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="5"
onpageindexchanging="gvorderlist_PageIndexChanging"
onrowcommand="gvorderlist_RowCommand">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Cancel Order" ShowHeader="False">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImgbtnCancelOrder" runat="server" CausesValidation="false"
ImageUrl="~/images/cross.PNG" OnClientClick="Javascript: return confirm('Aap Chutiye hai');" CommandName="Delete"
CommandArgument="<%# ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I am getting an Error which says : The GridView 'gvorderlist' fired event RowDeleting which wasn't handled.
Any help will be appreciated...
Thank You

Answer 1

The error explains everything. You need todefine the event method for OnRowDeleting in markup:
<asp:GridView ID="gvorderlist" runat="server" CellPadding="4"
ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="5"
onpageindexchanging="gvorderlist_PageIndexChanging"
onrowcommand="gvorderlist_RowCommand" OnRowDeleting="gvorderlist_RowDeleting">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Cancel Order" ShowHeader="False">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImgbtnCancelOrder" runat="server" CausesValidation="false"
ImageUrl="~/images/cross.PNG" OnClientClick="Javascript: return confirm('Aap Chutiye hai');" CommandName="Delete"
CommandArgument="<%# ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
And add an empty method in the code:
protected void gvorderlist_RowDeleting(object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
{
// No need to implement code here
}

Answer 2

The attributes for the GridView are case-sensitive, so change onrowcommand to OnRowCommand and see if that fires when you click the delete button. If not, you'll need to define OnRowDeleting explicitly. (Also change the capitalization of onpageindexingchange)

Answer 3

Give Command Name=D instead of Delete. It searches for Row_Deleting event when Command Name =Delete.
