In my datagrid I have a delete button. When the user clicks this button 
I'd like to know which row it is and confirm that they want to delete the 
row. I've been successful with displaying a conformation box with a 
regular web control button, but have had some difficulties when the 
button is inside a datagrid...any help would be appreciatred..thanks

Heres my code...no errors, but also no message box...

 Public Sub DeleteBid(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As 
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles 
DataGrid1.DeleteCommand
        'check which row has been selected
        Dim selectedRow As String = DataGrid1.DataKeys(e.Item.ItemIndex)
        Dim btnDelete As Button
        btnDelete = e.Item.Cells(4).Controls(0) '<---5th column, first 
control 
        btnDelete.Attributes("onclick") = "javascript:return confirm('Are 
you sure you want to delete \n    Bid Record " & selectedRow & "?')"
