hai all

      I am working with the datagrids i had a requirement of showing the pager styel of the datagrid as first previous next and last. for this i have removed the pager style by making pagerstyle visible = false, now i have added allow custom paging = true and page size to 2, the probelm occurs when i try to get the datagrid.page count which shows me one always(1)though i have 5 records in the dataview and my page size is 2 and also allow custom paging = true.i dont get why i get page count as 1

thanks in advance

Hi Madhu,

When you use custom paging, only one page full of records is always returned to the Grid. This makes sense, as it's exactly what you're asking for. Not the grid, but the data source is responsible for paging.

To make the page bar behave nice, you need to set the grid's VirtualItemCount property: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...counttopic.asp

This property should be set to the total number of records in the datasource; 5 in your case. How you set this property depends on your data access logic, but a common way is to create an output parameter on a stored procedure that returns the total number of records.

HtH,

Hai

Thank you for the answer i have given the virtual count number to five but the thing is though the pages change it shows the same data.

this means that i use
dataview selectitemview = ds.table.count defult view
datagrid1.virtualitemcount = selectitemview.item.count
datagrid1.datasource = selectitemview
datagrid1.databind()

the problem it is moving tothe next page but it shows the same data.
ie it shows 1-2of5 for the first time
then when we click next it shows 3-4of5 for the second time
but here it shows the first click results only

Again, this is probably because you use custom paging. How does your code look like? Are you sure that you retrieve the correct page from the database by passing a start index and a page size to the database?

Are you aware of the differences between custom paging and normal paging?

i am using custom paging my looks like this

listcommand list = new listcommand()
list.intialize(searchconditions)
valuecontext = list.excecute()
patientds = get from valuecontext()

dataview slectitemview = new dataview
datagrid1.datasource = selectitemview
this is my actual code

i dont know where to add that start index and paze size in my code.
because i use dataview as the datasource

thank you Imar for your support

Really?? Does this compile?
dataview slectitemview = new dataview
datagrid1.datasource = selectitemview

But more importantly, how does it display records in the first place? You declare a new instance of a DataView and then set it as a DataSource? What's inside the DataView at that point? Nothing.

Anyway, hard to help without actual code....

You may want to consider dropping custom paging, and let the Grid handle things....
