Bottom line... you can use Image button to follow the delete command.. try!

I believe the gridview lets you show a delete command button, which can then be configured to show whatever graphic you like, and return the primary key. You should never delete or add data to your gridview. Update your data source and rebind.

ya delete command is there and it is possible to delete with that...
But I'm assigned to do it with an image button

Assigned by who, morons ? You're the developer, tell them the right way to do it. You can use an image to skin a delete button.

I haven't tried this, but I guess this should work.

Handle RowCommand event of the GriedView. Check if the CommandName is "select" (that's what you have named it).
If yes, you can get the selected row index using CommandArgument. Then perform the delete task.
Code will be something like this.

C#

protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "Select")
    {
        int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

        //Now you have the selected row index. So write code to delete the row.
    }
}

Let me know if it works or not.
