Approach Followed:
Actually,for deleting some data present in List View.I am going through ajax call
and finding some data from DataBase with respect to that id.And showing that data on Popup.
Now if user OK then it should perform the action through item command otherwise not.

Problem:
Confirm Popup is automatically hiding itself.And automatically it goes on Row Command.

function RemindersCount(Type, ActivityId) {
      $.ajax({
          url: "AddProduct.aspx/RemindersActive",
          type: "POST",
          contentType: "application/json;charset=utf-8",
          dataType: "json",
          data: "{ Type:'" + Type + "',  ActivityId:'" + ActivityId + "' }",
          cache: false,
          success: function (data) {
              var obj = JSON.parse(data.d);
              var action = confirm('If you delete the Activity.Your ' + obj.ActiveCount + ' active Reminders will also be deleted.');

              if (action) {


                  return true;
              }
              else {

                  return false;
              }
          },
          error: function (ex) {
              return false;
          }
      });
  }

The above ajax function is called By LinkButton present in List View.

<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkRemoveOpenActivity" OnClientClick='<%# string.Format("return RemindersCount(\"{0}\",\"{1}\");", Eval("Source"),Eval("RecordId")) %>'
    CommandName="RemoveFollowUp" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("RecordId")%>' runat="server"
    ToolTip="Remove" CssClass="temp">class="icon-remove"></asp:LinkButton>

What kind of "Popup"? Any code sample or a link? JavaScript "confirm" (would be a bad idea)? Modal popup? Or just creating a new browser window (just "popup", also a bad idea)? Why it's "hiding"? Based on your information, we cannot figure it out, only you can.

What does it mean "automatically goes on Row Command"? Popup? "Goes"? :-)

i mean that the confirm box should be come first.If user select the OK then it
should goto itemcommand(ListView) otherwise on cancel i am returning false.

Click "Improve question" and post the relevant parts of your code. Include the ASPX markup of the button, and any javascript functions that it calls.

Remember to wrap your code blocks in <pre>...</pre> tags, and ensure that the code is properly HTML-encoded - < instead of <, > instead of >, etc.

Hi Richard please go through the code and tell me what is going wrong.

Your RemindersCount function does not return a value. It starts an asynchronous AJAX request to the server, and then exits without returning a value. Since you haven't cancelled the event, the LinkButton then causes a postback to the server, and executes the command.

Hi Richard i think RemindersCount function is returning bool value in all ways,correct me if i am wrong.

Richard Deeming 8-Feb-16 7:49am

Consider yourself corrected. :)

Your RemindersCount function doesn't return any value at all. All of the return true; / return false; statements are within the AJAX callback functions. The return value from these functions is ignored.

No. You did not answer my questions. Without proper clarifications, you cannot expect any help.
Please use "Improve question". Please notify me when it's done in another comment.

The whole idea to use the function "confirm" is wrong. You should not use such functions in callback functions. The reasonable alternative is explained in Solution 1.

I would advise the following. Don't use confirm. Not only such dialogs are not flexible; they are ugly, inconvenient and hardly can be suitable for production-grade sites. Much better idea is using so called modal popup approach. Please see my article where I explain how they work, how you can create your own one, and discuss the alternatives, including confirm and other native JavaScript dialogs:
Modal Popup From Scratch[^].

Most popular implementation of modal popup is jQuery Dialog and many 3rd-party jQuery plug-ins:

Let me google that for you[^].
