Display a confirmation box before deleting a row in the DataGridView

Display a confirmation box before deleting a row in the DataGridView

Handle the UserDeletingRow event to display a confirmation box to the user. If the user confirms the deletion, delete the row. If the user clicks cancel, set e.cancel = true which cancels the row deletion.

C#                                                                        

private void dgv_UserDeletingRow(object sender, DataGridViewRowCancelEventArgs e)

        {

            if (!e.Row.IsNewRow)

            {

                DialogResult res = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to delete this row?", "Delete confirmation",

                         MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question);

                if (res == DialogResult.No)

                    e.Cancel = true;

            }

        }
