This web page will tell you how to setup a DataPager on a ListView. The setting on the pager for controlling the number of rows per page is PageSize.

• Using ASP.NET 3.5’s ListView and DataPager Controls: Paging Through Data with the ListView and DataPager Controls

Here is a snippet of code to setup a DataPager. Note that PagedControlID should be the id of your list view control. The PageSize="50" specifies that fifty rows per page are displayed.

<asp:DataPager runat="server" ID="dpMyDatePager" PageSize="50"
 PagedControlID="lvMyListView">
    <Fields>
        <asp:NextPreviousPagerField ButtonType="Button" ShowLastPageButton="True"
         ShowFirstPageButton="True" />
    </Fields>
</asp:DataPager>
