Hi,

i defined a linkbutton in a gridview. In code-behind, i want to perform the
delete query when the user clicks on the linkbutton, but this code gives
following error:
"Input string was not in a correct format." at line:  r =
Convert.ToInt16(e.CommandArgument)

Thanks for help
Bart

aspx file:
--------
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" />
          <Columns>
          <asp:TemplateField>
              <ItemTemplate>
              <asp:LinkButton ID="lb1" runat="server" CommandName="Delete"
Text="delete"
               OnClientClick="return confirm('Cancel?');" >
              </asp:LinkButton>
              </ItemTemplate>
          </asp:TemplateField>
...

code-behind:
-------------
Protected Sub GridView1_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles
GridView1.RowCommand
       Dim r As Int16
       Select Case e.CommandName
           Case "Delete"
               r = Convert.ToInt16(e.CommandArgument)
               Me.GridView1.DeleteRow(r)
       End Select
End Sub
