Question

I am using a gridview and I want to use paging. I have already set allow paging to true and page size to 5. I can see the numbers at the base of my gridview, but when i click on a number to move to respective page, it throws an error saying:

The GridView 'GridView1' fired event PageIndexChanging which wasn't handled.

Code:

 <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" CellPadding="5" 
    AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="True" DataKeyNames="contact_id" 
    onrowcancelingedit="GridView1_RowCancelingEdit" 
    onrowediting="GridView1_RowEditing" onrowupdating="GridView1_RowUpdating" 
    PageSize="5">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="contact_id">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("contact_id") %>'></asp:Label>
            </ItemTemplate>

Answer 1

You will have to handle the PageIndexChanging event for the grid

Something like

protected void GridView1_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
    GridView1.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
    //Bind grid

}
