Example
ObjectDataSource
If using an ObjectDataSource, almost everything is handled for you already, just simply tell the GridView to AllowPaging and give it a PageSize.
<asp:GridView ID="gvColors"
runat="server"
DataSourceID="sdsColors"
AllowPaging="True"
PageSize="5">
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsColors"
runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ MyConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT Color_ID, Color_Name FROM Colors">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
Manual Binding
If binding manually, you must handle the PageIndexChanging event. Simply set the DataSource and PageIndex and re-bind the GridView.
<asp:GridView ID="gvColors"
runat="server"
AllowPaging="True"
PageSize="5"
OnPageIndexChanging="gvColors_PageIndexChanging">
</asp:GridView>
C#
protected void gvColors_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
gvColors.DataSource = // Method to retrieve DataSource
gvColors.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
gvColors.DataBind();
}
VB.NET
Protected Sub gvColors_PageIndexChanging(sender As Object, e As GridViewPageEventArgs)
{
gvColors.DataSource = // Method to retrieve DataSource
gvColors.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex
gvColors.DataBind()
}
