Here's another way to add to the myriad of ways already identified to add a delete confirmation in the IBS Portal. This method is specific however to the databound repeating controls.

in your ascx or aspx page wherever you have a button that is to be used for deleting in your code simply add this to the definition...

ondatabinding="BtnDelete_DataBinding"

then somewhere in your code add this eventhandler....

Protected Sub BtnDelete_DataBinding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim BtnDelete As ImageButton = CType(sender, ImageButton)
BtnDelete.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript: return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete this item?');")
End Sub

what you gain from doing it this way is not having to loop through the entire controls collection of a dataitem to find the delete button, or if you have multiple repeating controls on the page, you don't have to override the repeater controls itemdatabound event twice.

Sorry, I'm not really sure what i was thinking, don't use databinding, use the Init event instead....

onInit="BtnDelete_Init"


VB
----------------
Protected Sub BtnDelete_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim BtnDelete As ImageButton = CType(sender, ImageButton)
BtnDelete.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript: return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete this item?');")
End Sub

C#
-----------------
protected void BtnDelete_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ImageButton BtnDelete = (ImageButton) sender
BtnDelete.Attributes.Add("onclick","javascript: return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete this item?');")
}

Where does the onInit="BtnDelete_Init" call go? I image the BtnDelete_Init(..) goes in the code behind page.

in your aspx page...
<asp:imagebutton id="myButton" runat="server" oninit="BtnDelete_Init" />

for clarity reasons in your code you may also want to use BtnDelete as your id for the button, but there is no rule that says you have to.

This is also exactly what I was looking for!

I owe you a virtual beer, Thanks.
