I’m using a stored procedure in a sql database as the data source for a SqlDataSourceControl on my .aspx page. I’m then using the SqlDataSourceControl as the data source for a gridview on my page. Paging is set to true on the gridview. What i would like to do is set the text of a label to the total number of rows in the gridview. I can use this code
'labelRowCount.Text = GridView2.Rows.Count & " layers found"
to return the number of results per page, but it doesn’t give me the total. I’ve looked in several places and haven’t been successful in finding a solution.
You should use the underlying datasource that the gridview is bound to (grid.DataSource). For instance if you have bound the grid to a datatable then just cast the grids datasource into the datatable and the use the rows.count property to get the total record count. Another alternative would be to get a reference to the the grids datasource object before you set it to the grid so you can get the record count directly.
So for example (assuming you are bound to a DataTable)
Enjoy!
