The NumericPagerField class displays navigation controls in a DataPager control. The controls can be used to page through data that is displayed by a control that implements the IPageableItemContainer interface, such as the ListView control. The NumericPagerField object displays page numbers as buttons that users can click to move to specific a page. The control also displays next-page and previous-page buttons that enable users to access more pages of data than the ones that are displayed by the control.
You can customize the appearance of the NumericPagerField object by using the properties that are listed in the following table.
You can use the ButtonType property to select the type of button that will be displayed. The following table lists the available button types.
The controls inside the NumericButtonCssClass object are rendered with non-breaking spaces between them. If you want to customize this behavior, you can use the RenderNonBreakingSpacesBetweenControls property.
You can hide a NumericPagerField object in a DataPager control by setting the Visible property to false. You cannot control the visibility of the next-page and previous-page buttons. They are displayed by the control if the associated data control has additional pages available to display. You can use the ButtonCount property to specify how many buttons are displayed in a NumericPagerField object. Each button corresponds to a page number.
You can set the text of the next-page button by setting the NextPageText property. You can set the text of the previous-page button by using the PreviousPageText property.
When the ButtonType property is set to ButtonType..::.Image, you must provide the URL of an image that will be displayed for the next-page and previous page buttons. You do this by setting the NextPageImageUrl and PreviousPageImageUrl properties. In that case, the corresponding text property is used as the alternate text for the image. For example, the text that is specified by the NextPageImageUrl property is displayed as the alternate text for the next-page image button. On browsers that support tooltips, this text is also displayed as a tooltip for the corresponding button.
