Delete Row from Data Grid

I need to be able to delete rows from a data grid, however if I add any columns and buttons to the form it throws up errors. (Sample code and errors attached.)

Thanks.

use this

<asp:GridView ID="GridView3" runat="server" BackColor="#dddddd"
            BorderColor="black" BorderStyle="Solid" Width="1200px" BorderWidth="5px" DataKeyNames="uid"
             EmptyDataText="Empty..." Font-Names="Verdana"
            Font-Size="Small" GridLines="None">
            <Columns>
            <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" ShowDeleteButton="True" />
            </Columns>

I think the button type is error,please remove the button type.
<asp:ButtonColumn HeaderText="Delete" Text= "Del" CommandName= "Delete" ></asp:ButtonColumn>

guru_sami

you should add ButtonField like this:
<asp:ButtonField Text="Delete" CommandName="Delete" ButtonType="Button" />

You can also set GV property AutoGenerateDeleteButton="true if you don't want to do above.

Thanks, I added:
<asp:commandfield showdeletebutton="true"
deletetext="Remove"..
and added the OnRowDeleting="Documents_Delete" to the grid but I am now getting "fired event RowDeleting which wasn't handled." errors whenever I click on a Remove link.

The code behind is below.

      protected void Documents_Delete(object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
      {
       // Do something
      }
