how to page GridView

[jasonli]

I have a gridview and bind a dataset to it. I set AllowPaging="True", and EnableSortingAndPagingCallbacks="True" because of TemplateFields in it.

When I click numeric button, nothing happen. PageIndex of GridView is 0.

So how can I do?

use a PagedDataSource

Thank you for your reply, mcmcom. It's working with PagedDatasource. However, I'm still wondering why GridView can't do paging by itself. Anyone knows about that?

i dont think they can page without a paged datasource. The paged data source acts like a controller, filtering only records that match where the "page" is.
