You can initiate row deleting from the toolbar (recycle bin button) or from an external control. In this example, we are using the toolbar ToolBarSettings.ShowDeleteButton=True
Just handle the RowDeleting event on the server. It is callled via ajax request from jqGrid and in the event arguments you will have the primary key of the row to delete (eventArgs.RowKey). Then just locate the row in your datasource, delete it and rebind the grid.
In this example we have used ADO.NET as a sample datasource, but this approach will work for any type of datasource you have.

Switch theme:
Theming is based on the very popular jQuery
ThemeRoller standard. This is the same theming mechanism used by jQuery UI and is now a de-facto standard for jQuery based components.
The benefits of using ThemeRoller are huge. We can offer a big set of ready to use themes created by professional designers, including Windows-like themes (Redmond), Apple-like theme (Cupertino), etc.
In addition to that any jQuery UI controls on the same page will pick the same theme.
Last, but not least, you can always roll your own ThemeRoller theme, using the superb
Theme Editor
To use a theme, simply reference 2 Css files in your Html <head> section - the ThemeRoller theme you wish to use, and the jqGrid own ThemeRoller Css file. For example (Redmond theme):
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="/themes/redmond/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="/themes/coregrid.css" />
