Consider a GridView connected to an ObjectDataSource with the DeleteMethod attribute set. Within the GridView is an ImageButton that has a CommandName attribute set to Delete. Now ordinarily when you click a button in a GridView the OnRowCommand event fires but the CommandName Delete hasn't been catered for in the event handler. So can I assume that as the CommandName is called Delete that the GridView will know that when the button is clicked it should fire the method specified in the DeleteMethod attribute in the ObjectDataSource?

Thanks

from memory, this is a long standing bug (delete with an imagebutton). there area few workarounds and i did investigate this at some stage a while back.

of course, you may not be referring to the 'double' event firing bug in which case, ignore this reply :)

Hi Jimi,

The reason I ask the question is because the author does this on page 252 of the book. The only explanation I can think of as to how this works is the one in my opening post but I'm just guessing.
