Remarks

Use this property to determine the currently displayed page in the DataGrid control when paging is enabled. This property is also used to programmatically control which page is displayed.

You can also hide the built in paging controls and create custom controls. To display a specific page, set this property to the page index you want to display and then rebind the data to the DataGrid control.
