Question

I’d just want to ask how to make a page list, like [First][1][2][3][4][Last].

When the user clicks the page number 4 he will be redirected to page number 4. I need this for my website because scrolling down is a long way and i don’t want my visitor to scroll all the way down just to know what’s on my website.

Here’s an example.

You can use a GridView control. It has features for paging. Check this links

Markup

<asp:GridView ID="gvMyUsers" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="20">

</asp:GridView>

Code-behind

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   gvMyUsers.DataSource = GetUsersFromDatabase(); //e.g. DataTable, DataReader, List<MyUser>, Any IEnumerable
   gvMyUsers.DataBind();
}

That gives you an idea of what to expect.

You can do more readups and googling on GridView, Paging etc
