Add a .gif to delete column?

[derek]

Instead of using a link with "Delete", how can I use a .gif instead or ImageUrl for AutoGenerateDeleteColumn?

Hi Derek,

Try any one of the following approach and see whether it helps.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        GridButtonColumn btncol = (GridButtonColumn)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("AutoGeneratedDeleteColumn");
        btncol.ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;
        btncol.ImageUrl = "~/Images/Delete.gif";
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();


    }

or

 protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Column.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedDeleteColumn")
        {
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ImageUrl = "~/Images/Delete.gif";
        }
    }

AWESOME, thank you so much.  I tried adding an image for the update column like this:

protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Column.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedDeleteColumn")
        {
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ConfirmText = "Are you Sure you want to delete this record?  Did you ask Bryan?";
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ImageUrl = "~/NewFolder1/delete.gif";
        }
        if (e.Column.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedUpdateColumn")
        {
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ImageUrl = "~/NewFolder1/update.gif";
        }

But the Edit link still shows.

So I also tried this:

protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Column.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedDeleteColumn")
        {
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ConfirmText = "Are you Sure you want to delete this record?  Did you ask Bryan?";
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ImageUrl = "~/NewFolder1/delete.gif";
        }
        if (e.Column.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedEditColumn")
        {
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;
            (e.Column as GridButtonColumn).ImageUrl = "~/NewFolder1/update.gif";
        }

But then after I publish it, I get an error of "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
