Add delete confirmation to asp.net ListView control

The ASP.Net ListView control is a godsend for developers. Drop the control on the form, hook in a datasource, and you have complete, out-of-the-box view, edit, insert, and delete functionality.

Normally, when you log in to a system, you authenticate by entering your password for that system. Your password goes, as it is typed, to the remote system, which authenticates it against the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file. By contrast, SSH allow a “password-less” authentication method based on public-key cryptography.
