Deleting Selected ListViewItems from the Database

Question

I have a ListView that I populate from the database. The ListView has a Checkbox on each row which is a built-in property of ListView .

I have been trying to get the text from the ID column next to the Checkbox which I will use in deleting the respective rows from the database but it all fails. I thought I could get the ListView.CheckedIndices and use them in return to point to the SelectedText of each index.

However all fails. More specifically i wanted to use the OnItemDeleting Event of list view but the ListView I have does not seem to have such event.

Is there any way i can achieve this?

Answer 1

I have had this problem before. What I did was this below:

<asp:ListView ID="xyz" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="blah" OnClick="blah_Click" 
                        CommandArgument="<%# myObject.Id %>" /> 
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

I got the passed id through the command argument.Then I deleted the selected item and refreshed the data for listView . I am sure there must be a cleaner way of doing it.
Let me know how it goes.
