Getting the count of all rows in a paged GridView control

Question

I want to retrieve all rows count of Gridview.

When I try this

 GridView1.Rows.Count.ToString()

it returns only active page items count.

I m using generic list of my custom class as my GridView's data source .

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Access your generic list's Count Property on databinding. Where/why do you need the total row count?

According to your new information on ObjectDataSource: Have a look at the ObjectDataSource.Selected Event

And on this example: http://www.webswapp.com/categories/ViewSourceCode.aspx?id=ASPNET20DDLinGridViewC-GridView
