This tutorial discusses adding client-side confirmation when deleting items in a DataList in ASP.NET 2.0. It describes how to add delete buttons or links to each item in the DataList, set the CommandName property to "Delete", and call the appropriate business logic layer method to delete the item from the DeleteCommand event handler. It also notes that the data will need to be rebound to remove the deleted item from the DataList.

Working with Data in ASP.NET 2.0 :: Adding
Client­Side Confirmation When Deleting
Introduction
As we saw back in the Overview of Editing and Deleting Data in the DataList tutorial, deleting support can
be added to the DataList by:
1. Adding a Button, LinkButton, or ImageButton Web control to the DataList’s ItemTemplate,
2. Setting the Delete button’s CommandName property to “Delete”, and
3. Calling the appropriate BLL delete method from the DataList’s DeleteCommand event handler (and
then rebinding the data so that the just­deleted item is removed from the DataList’s items)
