Server tag in OnClientClick

Question

The following gives me an error of \"The server tag is not well formed\"

Answer 1

Add the code dynamically in the ItemDataBound event for the ListView control.

In your page_Load event add the following

lst.ItemDataBound += new EventHandler(lst_ItemDataBound);

Then in your ItemDataBound event handler add

Control DeleteButton = e.Item.FindControl("DeleteButton");
DeleteButton.OnClientClick = string.Format( "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete '{0}'?", Username);

This solution should work whether you use OnClientClick or Sachin Gaur's solution.
