Introduction
I searched the entire web looking for tutorials about custom paging in GridView control in ASP.Net 2.0. Since GridView is relatively new to ASP.Net, most of my search returned custom paging using DataGrid Control.
To help others who have the same problem as I encountered today, here is the tutorial regarding custom paging in GridView. I hope you’ll have a great time reading my article as I have writing it.
Overview
While DataGrid requires additional coding for it’s paging, GridView control automatically supports paging by setting the PagerSettings property. This allows you to customize the appearance of the pager the the GridView automatically generates for you. You can set the mode of your PagerSetting to the following custom made selections
- NextPrevious - This will render a “Next Previous” Pager on your control.
- NextPreviousFirstLast - A set of pagination controls consisting of Previous, Next, First, and Last buttons.
- Numeric - Sets your pagination to a 1 2 3 4 5 ….
- NumericFirstLast - Numeric pagination (1 2 3 4 …) plus the first and last page anchor.
The fun part is customizing this pager based on your preference and requirements. You can achieve this by adding a PagerTemplate template.
In this article we will make a “DAO” like pager with a First, Previous, Next and Last Image Button and a DropDownList of the Page Number.
1. Using your favorite graphic editor (Photoshop), create four buttons that will serve as your icon for the First, Previous, Next and Last buttons.
2. Set your GridView control’s AllowPaging property to true.
3. Add a PagingTemplate inside your GridView and insert 4 ImageButton, 1 DropDownList and a Label controls which will serve as your First, Previous, Next, Last, Page No., and Page Picker of your pager.
…
<PagerTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/controls/first.gif" />
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton2" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/controls/previous.gif" />
Page
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlPages" runat="server"
AutoPostBack="True">
</asp:DropDownList> of <asp:Label ID="lblPageCount"
runat="server"></asp:Label>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton3" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/controls/next.gif" />
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton4" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/controls/last.gif" />
</PagerTemplate>
</asp:GridView>
Your pager should look like this when you render the page.
4. Add an OnDataBound Event to your GridView. This will render and populate your DropDownList (for page picker) and Label (for page count) controls. Implementation can look like this.
{
GridViewRow gvrPager = grdListings.BottomPagerRow;
if (gvrPager == null) return;
// get your controls from the gridview
DropDownList ddlPages = (DropDownList)gvrPager.Cells[0].FindControl("ddlPages");
Label lblPageCount = (Label)gvrPager.Cells[0].FindControl("lblPageCount");
if (ddlPages != null)
{
// populate pager
for (int i = 0; i < grdListings.PageCount; i++)
{
int intPageNumber = i + 1;
ListItem lstItem = new ListItem(intPageNumber.ToString());
if (i == grdListings.PageIndex)
lstItem.Selected = true;
ddlPages.Items.Add(lstItem);
}
}
// populate page count
if (lblPageCount != null)
lblPageCount.Text = grdListings.PageCount.ToString();
}
5. Next, we implement an OnSelectedIndexChanged on our DropDownList to go to the selected page when a selection is made from our dropdown.
{
GridViewRow gvrPager = grdInvestors.BottomPagerRow;
DropDownList ddlPages = (DropDownList)gvrPager.Cells[0].FindControl("ddlPages");
grdListings.PageIndex = ddlPages.SelectedIndex;
// a method to populate your grid
PopulateGrid();
}
6. In order for you arrow buttons to work. We must implement an OnCommand event of your buttons. Before that we have to specify a CommandArgument properties to each of our buttons.
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/controls/first.gif"
CommandArgument="First" CommandName="Page" />
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton2" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/controls/previous.gif"
CommandArgument="Prev" CommandName="Page" />
…
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton3" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/controls/next.gif"
CommandArgument="Next" CommandName="Page" />
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton4" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/controls/last.gif"
CommandArgument="Last" CommandName="Page" />
…
7. Finally, the OnCommand event implementation.
{
// get the current page selected
int intCurIndex = grdListings.PageIndex;
switch (e.CommandArgument.ToString().ToLower())
{
case "first":
grdListings.PageIndex = 0;
break;
case "prev":
grdListings.PageIndex = intCurIndex - 1;
break;
case "next":
grdListings.PageIndex = intCurIndex + 1;
break;
case "last":
grdListings.PageIndex = grdListings.PageCount;
break;
}
// popultate the gridview control
PopulateGrid();
}
Summary
Customizing your GridView pager gives you flexibility and fine grain control over your grid listing. Just don’t be afraid of exploring, experimenting and playing with it to achieve the desired functionalities that you want. Happy coding.
Man you are a life saver!!! This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks sooo much!!!
Hey, why are my pager buttons in the first column of the gridView? Why does it only create one cell? I’d love to do a colspan, but gridview.BottomPagerRow is always null!? — any ideas?…
A nice article.This helped me a lot while implementing custompaging.
Nice and cool article,
you make me to be a looser!
it is just what i want to do these days! cool….
I use objectDataSource to bind gridview control,
can i just use:
// popultate the gridview control
eGridView.databind()
but,the paging doesn’t work, any idea?
I don’t understand which event that procedure “protected void Paginate(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)” hand for ? and What does “PopulateGrid()” do ?;
just what I’m looking for! thanks for taking the time to explain this out
Hi. Very nice. Is there a way I can switch the image to a disabled one (first and previous) when I am on page one? Thanks.
When does
Protected Sub Paginate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
get called?
Hi, instead of a DropDown to select a page can a numeric pager be displayed along with the buttons in the PagerTemplate?
Really Really good article. Cheers
A really cool article, help me a lot….
Thanks
Hi,
i’m newbie to asp.net, I ran few test on your code and it give me several errors.
First, “grdlistings”, “grdInvestors”, and “populateGrid” does not exist in the current context.
Am i missing something in the program?
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks
wat about if i want the format is like this
|> >|
1> >1
<
|< << 1234 >> <|
How do I get the drop downlist to work correctly. I cannot get it to fire the SelectedIndexChanged even when I select a new item. This seems to be becuase when the page loads, there isn’t anything in the list until I dynamically create the list… If anyone has it working, I sure would like to know more about how to get that piece to work, the rest works fine.
BTW Doyle, I was creating the a post on my blog that addressed your question when I discovered this blog, you can check out the post at: http://aspadvice.com/blogs/net_discoveries/default.aspx
A really good article, help me a lot….
but, if we have a large number of pages (i.e. 100 or more),
the dropdown list I thing is not very easy to accomodate.
I should like to see an alternate method with (say) a textbox
or something similar.
Thanks a lot
I’m trying to use it with an update panel. How do I reference the dropdownlist control in the Triggers section?
Thanks,
Yaron.
where is the F### vB?
and where are the individual images for the example? a fake picture of the control sucks
Thank you for the really really great article!!
Thanks, this is wonderful, whith any modification, it’s work good and it’s that I was looking for.
Thanks again.
Can you help me?
I’m using asp.net 1.0, i don’t have tool as athlast to support ajax. If you have , can you give me it?
thank you!
Hai!
Very good explanation of each and everything about paging in GridViewControl.This will be very helpful and useful to evry programmers.
Thank you writing this, it helped a lot! I wanted to mention, I’m sure most people already know this, the key words for the paging, first, prev, nex, and last are very specific and if you deviate from them it messes it up. For example, you can’t use previous as the argument . . .
Thanks again!
Ryan
This article was helpful, but I found that after following the directions outlined here, I couldn’t get the PagerTemplate to show up. I was trying to use Custom Paging and only was retrieving exactly the rows needed to be displayed.
I discovered that I needed to add the following:
gvrPager.Visible = true;
protected void grdListings_DataBound(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridViewRow gvrPager = grdListings.BottomPagerRow;
if (gvrPager == null)
return;
gvrPager.Visible = true;
//…..
}
Hopefully, I’ll save someone else a few hours.

hi,
your code helped me a lot and i have problem can we disable those pagertemplete buttons.
regards,
Parth
Dear sir,
I was converted the code for VB
I have a problem: whenever I have, for instance, 4 lines in a page that possesses up to 5 of total, when I click in the nexr button, the pagination control disappears together with the last line of the gridview…
Página
de
Protected Sub grdTabela_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles grdTabela.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim gvrPager As GridViewRow = grdTabela.BottomPagerRow
Dim cboPages As DropDownList = CType(gvrPager.Cells(0).FindControl(”cboPages”), DropDownList)
grdTabela.PageIndex = cboPages.SelectedIndex
grdTabela.DataBind()
End Sub
Protected Sub Paginate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CommandEventArgs)
Dim intCurIndex As Integer = grdTabela.PageIndex
Select Case e.CommandArgument.ToString.ToUpper
Case “FIRST”
grdTabela.PageIndex = 0
Case “PREV”
intCurIndex = intCurIndex - 1
grdTabela.PageIndex = intCurIndex
Case “NEXT”
intCurIndex = intCurIndex + 1
grdTabela.PageIndex = intCurIndex
Case “LAST”
grdTabela.PageIndex = grdTabela.PageCount
End Select
grdTabela.DataBind()
End Sub
Protected Sub cboPages_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim gvrPager As GridViewRow = grdTabela.BottomPagerRow
Dim cboPages As DropDownList = CType(gvrPager.Cells(0).FindControl(”cboPages”), DropDownList)
grdTabela.PageIndex = cboPages.SelectedIndex
End Sub
I’m sorry by my poor english (from Brazil)
Just so everyone knows, the sub “Paginate” doesn’t work. Go to
http://blog.wekeroad.com/archive/2006/12/09/GridView-Sorting-And-Paging–My-Pain-Your-Gain.aspx
for a complete description of a functional paging using the above concept.
It’s really a nice article and helps to reduce many lines of code when I was using Repeater control and enabling paging to it.
I have used this article with NextPrevious option and it works fine. Now I want to have this option on top and bottom both place of the gridview. How I can achieve this? please help
Thanks.
Great article! Helped me out a lot.
One mistake I saw:
grdListings.PageIndex = grdListings.PageCount;
should be
grdListings.PageIndex = grdListings.PageCount - 1;
the GridView probably handles it gracefully, but PageCount is zero-based.
I’m having the same problem as below. I replaced the grdListings and grdInvestors with my own gridview name but what is populateGrid()? It’s not working for me.
Please advise!

Cool !!!!
but i wanted alphabetic paging ?
can that be achieved too???
Very Nice. Took some modification but I finally got it top work in VB.NET.
Thanks.
Very useful code .
Thankyou Very Much
Hi,
This was a very helpful article for me.
And it helped me a lot in my function.
Really thanks a lot . this was very descriptive and easy to understand.
Nice work thanks… If you are planning to use the code you might need to do some minor modifications and it should work.
Very good one, which helps me a lot.
Awsome job! You are a lifesaver!
Its nice
Thank you!!!!
Thankyou!!!
Buddy great job!!!
Have a great day!!!
Where do you live? I want to come give you a kiss!
I’ve been trying to paging for awhile. Starting from my MasterPage/AJAX/nStuff/CSS Friendly I got no where, but I start with your sample, and add just CSS Friendly support for GridView, paging disappears totally. Not using CSS Friendly, just copying in the adapters.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Follow these guidelines and you will build that new home with little, or no, problems. replacement window minnesota can help…
Hi.
Good design, who make it?
what i have to do if i want to put numeric pages behind combobox?
thanks a lot!
Thank you very much it is a great article
But i can add code :
In Event protected void GridView1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
we can add this code
//– For First and Previous ImageButton
if (GridView1.PageIndex == 0)
{
//((ImageButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl(”btnFirst”)).Enabled = false;
//((ImageButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl(”btnFirst”)).Visible = false;
//((ImageButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl(”btnPrev”)).Enabled = false;
//((ImageButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl(”btnPrev”)).Visible = false;
//— OR —\\
ImageButton btnFirst = (ImageButton)row.Cells[0].FindControl(”btnFirst”);
ImageButton btnPrev = (ImageButton)row.Cells[0].FindControl(”btnPrev”);
btnFirst.Visible = false;
btnPrev.Visible = false;
}
//– For Last and Next ImageButton
if (GridView1.PageIndex+1 == GridView1.PageCount)
{
//((ImageButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl(”btnLast”)).Enabled = false;
//((ImageButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl(”btnLast”)).Visible = false;
//((ImageButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl(”btnNext”)).Enabled = false;
//((ImageButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl(”btnNext”)).Visible = false;
//— OR —\\
ImageButton btnLast = (ImageButton)row.Cells[0].FindControl(”btnLast”);
ImageButton btnNext = (ImageButton)row.Cells[0].FindControl(”btnNext”);
btnLast.Visible = false;
btnNext.Visible = false;
}

Thanks
We had used your code and it is working well . Before trying this we had used following code it is also nice one Please check
<asp:SqlDataSource ID=”SqlDataSource1″ runat=”server” SelectCommand=”SELECT [au_id], [au_lname], [au_fname], [phone], [address], [city], [state], [zip], [contract] FROM [authors]”
ConnectionString=”" />
Thanks and Regards
Ashish and Ajay
great article…… I really like your way of explaination.
Great article. But why Paginate rutine is executed ?
It even work even the name Paginate is changed with something else, like Abc for example.
So (per VB Example)
Protected Sub Abc(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim CurrentIndex As Integer = GridView1.PageIndex
Dim StrVal As String = e.ToString.ToLower
Select Case StrVal
Case “first”
CurrentIndex = 0
Case “prev”
CurrentIndex = CurrentIndex - 1
Case “next”
CurrentIndex = CurrentIndex + 1
Case “last”
CurrentIndex = GridView1.PageCount
End Select
works too !!!
thx
hello,
I can not get it to fire selectedindexchanged event for the ddlpages dropdownlist box becuase that control is included in Pager Template portion of the Gridview.
Can anybody guide me in this matter?
Thanks,
B
For Bhavesh
U simply go to ur edit templet for pager and doubble clik the dropdown u will be able to get the required event
Actually, I had a similar problem getting the SelectedIndexChanged event to fire because of the way I am binding to the datasource. I wired it up correctly, it just wasn’t recognizing my input. So, instead, I used the OnUnload event.
BTW… I also got it to work with the SelectedIndexChanged event. However, to do so I had to attach the GridView to an ObjectDataSource (I assume a SQLDataSource would have also worked).
Previously, I was filling it with an external class. I believe this threw off the order in which the events were being fired, so the SelectedIndexChanged event was never actually occurring.
The VB code is actually fairly straight foward. A couple of comments:
1) I don’t know if I missed it from translating the orginal C# code, but I didn’t see where the “Paginate” routine updated the content of the dllPages control to show the current page. I added that to my code below.
2) As noted in one of the comments above the default handler for the dllPages_SelectedtIndexChanged is created when you double-click the drop down control in the pager template for the grid control.
3) If you want the page control in the top position of the gridview you will need to use the TopPageRow collection.
4) If you want to have the pager in both the top and the bottom positions. How do you determine which of the ddlPages drop downs was selected? When both positions are active there are 2 instantiations of the ddlPages control. From some quick experiements I noted that the 2 controls do not automatically synchronize values.
Anyway here in the VB code:
Protected Sub GridView1_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.DataBound
‘ Define variables
Dim ddl As DropDownList
Dim lbl As Label
‘ Make certain there are pages/rows to display
If (GridView1.PageCount > 0) Then
‘ Get the controls from the gridview for the botton pager row
ddl = GridView1.BottomPagerRow.Cells(0).FindControl(”ddlPages”)
lbl = GridView1.BottomPagerRow.Cells(0).FindControl(”lblPageCount”)
‘ Clear and populate the ddl control
ddl.Items.Clear()
For counter = 1 To GridView1.PageCount
ddl.Items.Add(counter.ToString)
If (GridView1.PageIndex = counter - 1) Then
ddl.SelectedItem.Value = counter - 1
ddl.SelectedValue = counter
End If
Next
‘ Set the total pages content
lbl.Text = GridView1.PageCount.ToString
End If
End Sub
Protected Sub Paginate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
‘ Get the current page selected
Dim intCurIndex As Integer
Dim ddl As DropDownList
‘ Get the current index
intCurIndex = GridView1.PageIndex
‘ Reset the page
Select Case (e.ToString.ToLower)
Case “first” : GridView1.PageIndex = 0
Case “prev” : GridView1.PageIndex = intCurIndex - 1
Case “next” : GridView1.PageIndex = intCurIndex - 1
Case “last” : GridView1.PageIndex = GridView1.PageCount
End Select
‘ Reset the drop down value
ddl = GridView1.BottomPagerRow.Cells(0).FindControl(”ddlPages”)
ddl.SelectedValue = GridView1.PageIndex + 1
End Sub
Protected Sub ddlPages_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
‘ Define variqbles
Dim ddl As DropDownList
‘ Get the contents of the drop down and set it into the page index
ddl = GridView1.BottomPagerRow.Cells(0).FindControl(”ddlPages”)
GridView1.PageIndex = ddl.SelectedIndex
‘ Execute the current search
ExecuteSearch()
End Sub
Thanks.. Good Code, It works fine…
Really a Gud atrtical , i appriciate ur work !!!
to make Pageinate works.
you have to add Oncommand in ur Image buttons
like i have added below
…
…
OnCommand=”Paginate”
Plz.. Help to me.. Acuallly This al the codes are working very well but the problem is, When i press the Previous button,the prolem is araise that is When the PageIndex reach 0,if we press the previous botton mean the error will araise and How to set true / false for enable and visible property for GridView Pagination image.Actuallly this code is not work.So plz help to me..
Execellent, only error is OnCommand=”Paginate”. But how to implement GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged event when we click on the pagination number 1 2 3 4 5 6 >> …. How will we get the value in the event method when user clicks some number below the gridview.

Hi,
u r c# code is excellent,
but instead of Dropdownlist i want numeric values like
First Previous 123456…… Next Last
like that i want can u please help me
Thank u!!!!
Hi!
Very good code!
The paging works great with “first”, “prev”, “next” and “last” buttons and the dropdown change when I click on them.
But number 5: “OnSelectedIndexChanged on DropDownList to go to the selected page when a selection is made from our dropdown”
it’s never reached. =(
I select any page in dropdownlist, and after postback the selection in the gridview doesn’t change the page.
Why? Any idea?
Buddy, this article really helps me a lot. thanks so much..
good articel
Thanks to Mukesh for the oncommand=’prognate’ fix’
Thanxs dear your code work’s great
Thanks, very nice.
Hi,

Code provided is excellent
I guess the Paginate need some tweak. Here is my code and it works fine. In the original code of Paginate, the Previous button will generate error when it goes beyond Index 0.
My code is :
protected void Paginate(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
// get the current page selected
int intCurIndex = grdChild.PageIndex;
switch (e.CommandArgument.ToString().ToLower())
{
case “first”:
grdChild.PageIndex = 0;
break;
case “prev”:
if (intCurIndex > 0)
grdChild.PageIndex = intCurIndex - 1;
break;
case “next”:
if (intCurIndex < grdChild.PageCount - 1)
grdChild.PageIndex = intCurIndex + 1;
break;
case “last”:
grdChild.PageIndex = grdChild.PageCount - 1;
break;
}
// popultate the gridview control
getDatasource();
}
Also, in the aspx page add the folling in the 4 page buttons: OnCommand=”Paginate”.
really a very good article.
but here i need to populate a popup grid with paging functionality without any server side image button control..
can anybody make help in this regard or suggestions??
Hey Hi Man,
Really good articals which i was searching. you did a good job keep it continue to help another guys. one more thing can i show this type paging in top and bottom of gridview i am trying it and its going on but my dropdown is not filled with my page numbers
suggest me if you have any solution
Thanks
Thank you so much. This really helped me a whole bunch.
Excelent Work, my friend.
tnks from Chile
I think that when number of records will be less then size of the page then BottomPagerRow will be not visible, isn’t it?
Thanks for the great post. It has been a big help in my gridview pagers. I was able to use Top and Bottom pager with page dropdown control handled by this code in the handler:
protected void ddlPages_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Cast the sender to a Dropdown list and get selectedIndex from that
// (then we don’t need to worry if it is coming from top or bottom
// pager dropdown)
grdvwCompanies.PageIndex = ((DropDownList)sender).SelectedIndex;
}
Thank You!! this code helped me
Regards
