I am trying to delete a record from grid. The case is, I am deleting a record from grid first only using link button inside gridview and after that user can click on an external button on the gridview only then record must be deleted from database.
The issue is while deleting a record from grid first will make that particular record unavailable to delete after clicking an external button.
I have attached code please look into this!

What I did is once user click an inside grid button, I store the remaining record of the gridView in ViewState["gridData"] and on the click event of an external button, I store that ViewState["gridData"] in Datatable and reinsert the record in database using for loop

(Edit)

Why not just drop in a plane jane asp button into the grid?

Wire up a click event, you are done!

I would not bother with the built in button.

Say we have this grid – and we drop in a button. (heck, lets get fancy, and put in a bootstrap icon for the button!!!).

So, we have this:

        <asp:GridView ID="GHotels" runat="server" CssClass="table"
            width="50%" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ID" >
            <Columns>
                <asp:BoundField DataField="FirstName" HeaderText="FirstName"     />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="LastName" HeaderText="LastName"       />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="HotelName" HeaderText="HotelName"     />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="City" HeaderText="City"               />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" />
                <asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                     <div class="btn btn-default glyphicon glyphicon-trash">
                      <asp:Button ID="cmdDelete" runat="server" Text="Delete" 
                        BackColor ="Transparent" BorderWidth="0"  />
                </div>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>

to load the grid we have this:

   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
            LoadGrid();
    }

    void LoadGrid()
    {
        using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TEST4))
        {
            string strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblHotels ORDER BY HotelName";
            using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand(strSQL, conn))
            {
                conn.Open();
                DataTable rst = new DataTable();
                rst.Load(cmdSQL.ExecuteReader());
                GHotels.DataSource = rst;
                GHotels.DataBind();                    
            }
        }
    }

And now we have this:

Ok, now lets add a click event to that button.

(we can’t double click on the button – since it inside of the GV).

So, in the markup type in OnClick= (AND NOTE VERY careful how you are offered to create a click event. eg this:

Select create new event – don’t seem like much occurred – flip to code behind, and we can then write in our delete code for this button.

    protected void cmdDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Button cmdDel = sender as Button;
        GridViewRow gRow = cmdDel.NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
        int? pkID = GHotels.DataKeys[gRow.RowIndex]["ID"] as int?;

        string strSQL = "DELETE FROM tblHotels WHERE ID = " + pkID;
        using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TEST4))
        {
            using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand(strSQL, conn))
            {
                conn.Open();
                cmdSQL.ExecuteNonQuery();
                // now re-fresh grid
                LoadGrid();
            }
        }
    }

I don’t really see much of any advantage to trying to say use the built in GV button. Just drop in a button – wire up the delete code.

Edit:

Now, maybe you don’t want a delete button for each row. You want say a check box on each row – you check the ones to delete, and BELOW the grid, you have a button "Delete Selected"

So, our markup now is this:

        <asp:GridView ID="GHotels" runat="server" CssClass="table"
            width="50%" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ID" >
            <Columns>
                <asp:BoundField DataField="FirstName" HeaderText="FirstName"     />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="LastName" HeaderText="LastName"       />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="HotelName" HeaderText="HotelName"     />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="City" HeaderText="City"               />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" />
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText = "Delete" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign ="Center" >
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:CheckBox ID="chkSel" runat="server" CssClass="bigcheck" />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
        <div class="btn btn-default glyphicon glyphicon-trash">
            <asp:Button ID="cmdDelete" runat="server" Text="Delete selected" 
            BackColor ="Transparent" BorderWidth="0" 
                OnClick="cmdDelete_Click" />
        </div>

Code to load grid – same as before. And our button? Well, just drop in a plane jane button outside of the grid. So we now have this:

And our code to delete selected can be this:

    protected void cmdDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string sDelList = "";
        foreach (GridViewRow gRow in GHotels.Rows)
        {
            CheckBox chkSel = gRow.FindControl("chkSel") as CheckBox;
            if (chkSel.Checked)
            {
                int? pkID = GHotels.DataKeys[gRow.RowIndex]["ID"] as int?;
                if (sDelList != "")
                    sDelList += ",";
                sDelList += pkID;
            }

            // delete selected
            if (sDelList != "")
            {
                string strSQL = "DELETE FROM tblHotels WHERE ID IN(" + sDelList + ")";
                using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TEST4))
                {
                    using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand(strSQL, conn))
                    {
                        conn.Open();
                        cmdSQL.ExecuteNonQuery();
                        // now re-fresh grid
                        LoadGrid();
                    }
                }
            }               
        }
    }
