<script runat="server">

  void EmployeeFormView_ItemDeleting(Object sender, FormViewDeleteEventArgs e)
  {
    // Get the employee ID, name, and job title from the Keys and Values
    // properties.
    String keyValue = e.Keys["EmployeeID"].ToString();
    String employeeName = e.Values["FirstName"].ToString() +
      " " + e.Values["LastName"].ToString();
    String title = e.Values["Title"].ToString();

    // Cancel the delete operation if the user attempts to 
    // delete a protected record. In this example, records for
    // employees with a "Sales Manager" job title are protected.
    if (title.Equals("Sales Manager"))
    {
      e.Cancel = true;
      MessageLabel.Text = "You cannot delete record " +
        e.RowIndex.ToString() + ". " + employeeName +
        " (Employee Number " + keyValue.ToString() +
        ") is protected.";
