Datagrid Paging Question

[lorena]

I have a series of pages that display closed files in different folders. Some of the folders have many files and some have few.

Is it possible to create an event that displays or hides the Pager based on the file count?

Thanks in advance

Sure, all you need to do is add this function, and call it as you will:

 

   Private Sub GridPagerVisibility(ByVal ShowHide As Boolean)
       Me.DataGrid1.PagerStyle.Visible = ShowHide
   End Sub

 

so you would say something like this on postback:

 

   if myFileCount < 100 Then
      GridPagerVisibility(False)
   else
      GridPagerVisibility(True)
   end if

 

Good Luck!

Thanks. I will try that out.

I just wanted to follow up. I put this in my code and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much!

Glad it worked and that I could help out!

 

 

I was also thinking, if you wanted to get crazy you could have the datagrid be passed into the function as well:

 

Private Sub GridPagerVisibility(ByVal ShowHide As Boolean, byref dg1 as System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid)
       dg1.PagerStyle.Visible = ShowHide
End Sub 

 

Take Care!
