ASP.NET 4 Unleashed

Using the DataPager Control

The DataPager control displays a user interface for navigating through multiple pages of items. The DataPager control works with any control that supports the IPageableItemContainer interface. Unfortunately, there is currently only a single control that supports this interface: the ListView control. So this means that you can only use the DataPager with the ListView control.

The DataPager control includes the following properties:

• PageSize— Gets or sets the number of items to display at a time.

• PagedControlId— Gets or sets the control to page. (The control must implement IPageableItemContainer.)

• Fields— Gets the fields contained by the DataPager.

• StartRowIndex— Gets the index of the first item to show.
