I have a grid view control with list of rows items. Each rows has a button which would triggers a client side pop up modal form to ask the user to enter some data before continue to execute the server side method. The problem is I cant find a way to continue the postback after the user clicked 'Confirm' button on the modal form. Most importantly, the server side method is reside within a DataGrid OnItemCommand Event. Before the method would be executed, several parameters from the other column in the same row would be collected. Any idea to deal with this ? Appreciate so much for anyone can solve it.

I have tried your code and it shows me same error but I am unable to rectify it.
