Thanks in advance to Dr.Khosravi and anyone who can help :)

Chp.12 mentions the SqlDataSource object having a property names 'SelectCountCommand', yet I have been unable to find such a property for this object and thus the text looks to be inaccurate. Please inform.

Or is the SelectCountCommand a custom property for the custom SqlDataSource object that will be created in future chapters (along with the custom SqlDataSourceView)?

Hi studen77,
Yes, the SelectCoundCommand is a custom property. As I mentioned in page 332 of the book, this chapter extends the functionality of the standard ASP.NET 2.0 SqlDataSource control. This custom property is part of this extension.

Cheers!

'StartRecordParameterName' is another custom property correct? Your text words it on pg. 347 paragraph 2 as if its native to the object.

Hi, studen77,
As I mentioned in this chapter, all paging related parameters such as SelectCountCommand and StartRecordParameterName are custom properties that extend the functionality of the ASP.NET 2.0 standard SqlDataSource control.

Cheers!
