Paging data

[JoeCool32]

I'm trying to make a page that will take SQL records and present them as it's done in a search results page (essentially paging data): with links to the previous and next 20 records, plus a count of how many records there are on the current page and also the ability to delete a record off the page. It's a lot of stuff I've never done before and I'm not sure where to begin. Can anyone start me off in the right direction (w/o referencing datagrids, since my lead doesn't like them)?

Hi,

If you are using a datagrid you use the properties of the datagrid to allow paging.

If you want to use a datalist or something else,
you can do paging with the "PagedDataSource".

if you chose to go the paging route for a datagrid, here's a great custom paging article:

you can also use the DataGrid and edit its ItemTemplate tag to act (more or less) like a datalist.
