Question

Is it possible to add:

“First, Last, Next, Previous” options to the GridView paging? I can’t seem to figure it out. All I can get are numbers and >> for last and << for first…

Answer 1

Set the value of the PageText properties of the PagerSettings section:

<asp:GridView ID="gridView" runat="server" AllowPaging="True">
    <PagerSettings  Mode="NextPreviousFirstLast" FirstPageText="First" PreviousPageText="Previous" NextPageText="Next" LastPageText="Last" />
</asp:GridView>

You can set these values from the Properties window in the designer too ..
