To use the paging built into the DataGrid just set AllowPaging property to true and the PageSize property to how many items you want on the page. You can also set the PagerStyle to change the way the pager looks.

BTW this method of paging isn't that efficient you might want to look into custom paging.

Solved my problem with this:
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickst...id.aspx#paging

To add numeric paging to your grid use:

Code:

---

<asp:DataGrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server" PageSize="5" AllowPaging="True">
    <PagerStyle Mode="NumericPages">
    </PagerStyle>
</asp:DataGrid>

---

For next and previous buttons use:

Code:

---

<asp:DataGrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server" PageSize="5" AllowPaging="True">
</asp:DataGrid>

---

Then you need to add the following code to handle the page change:

VB Code:

Private Sub DataGrid1_PageIndexChanged(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridPageChangedEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.PageIndexChanged
    DataGrid1.CurrentPageIndex = e.NewPageIndex
    'bind data source to grid
End Sub

Hope that helps.
