I found an easier way… all you have to do is add some code to the DataBound event of the gridview:

protected void gvMyData_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (gvMyData.BottomPagerRow != null) //Make sure it exists.
{
gvMyData.BottomPagerRow.Visible = true;
}
}

Hey people thanks for this code .. it´s saved me but I still have one problem.

Even setting the Pager to show I can´t get a control inside PagerTemplate.

for example I tryied:

protected void gdvPromocoes_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (gdvPromocoes.Rows.Count > 0) { Control control = gdvPromocoes.HeaderRow.FindControl("lbRowCount"); } }

but I always get null.

Anyone knows why? And how to solve this?

Thanks

I used Peter Duerden’s visible property code, instead in the GridView PreRender event and it works fine. This way you don’t have to be worried about any return value.

I tried what Umair Hafeez mentioned, and its working perfectly. I believe that is the best way to go about… less code less confusion and easier to understand.

Cheers!

Just what I needed but required in C#. I have therefore made te following conversion and also included a check for the bottom pager row:

protected override int CreateChildControls(IEnumerable dataSource, bool dataBinding) { int returnValue = base.CreateChildControls(dataSource, dataBinding);


            if (this.TopPagerRow != null && this.AlwaysShowPager)

            {

                this.TopPagerRow.Visible = true;

            }
            if (this.BottomPagerRow != null && this.AlwaysShowPager)

            {

                this.BottomPagerRow.Visible = true;

            }

return returnValue; }

Thanks.

I have done a little thing.

After calling the GridView.DataBind()

just write the following line.

GridView.TopPagerRow.Visible = True
OR
GridView.BottomPagerRow.Visible = True

This does the trick for me.

No problem, just so you know, i was looking around for a while trying to figure this out but after i saw your solution it tracked me down to the exact point in the reflected gridview code that i needed to understand. I just twisted your solution slightly. Thanks for doing the leg work!!!

Amazing how we can overlook the simplest of solutions at times.

Thanks for the VB code, Andrew.
