Delete Selected Rows From Gridview in ASP.Net

We are using a checkbox inside a GridView and a button. The User selects the row from the checkbox that he want to delete and on a button click it is deleted from the GridView and from the database too.

Initial chamber

Step 1

Open Visual Studio 2010 and create an Empty Website, provide a suitable name (Gridview_demo).

Step 2

In Solution Explorer you get your empty website. Add a web form and a SQL Database as in the following.

For Web Form:

Gridview_demo (your empty website) then right-click then select Add New Item -> Web Form. Name it Gridview_demo.aspx.

For SQL Server Database:

Gridview_demo (your empty website) then right-click then select Add New Item -> SQL Server Database. (Add the database inside the App_Data_folder.)

Database chamber

Step 3

In the database (Database.mdf) we will create a table, tbl_Data. Go to the database.mdf -> Table then Add New table, design your table like this:

Table -> tbl_data (Don't forget to make ID -> Identity Specification -> Yes)

Step 4

Now open your Gridview_demo.aspx file, where we create our simple design with the GridView and a button.

For inserting the checkbox inside the GridView, click on the arrow button of the GridView where you can find Edit Column. In a new window (Fields) you need Checkbox Fields from the Available Fields.

Step 5

Open your Gridview_demo.aspx.cs and write some code so that the application works.

Gridview_demo.cs
  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;  
  4. using System.Web;  
  5. using System.Web.UI;  
  6. using System.Web.UI.WebControls;  
  7. using System.Data;  
  8. using System.Data.SqlClient;  
  9.   
  10. public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page  
  11. {

  13.     SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");  
  14.     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  15.     {  
  16.         if (!Page.IsPostBack)  
  17.         {

  49.                 int id = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

Don't worry about the Id's that start from 4—8 since I used 1-4 Ids for testing.
