DataGridPagerStyle.NextPageText Property

 

Gets or sets the text displayed for the next page button.

Namespace:   System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

Public Property NextPageText As String

Property Value

Type: System.String

The text to display for the next page button. The default value is ">", which is rendered as the greater than sign (>).

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The specified value is less than 1.

Use the NextPageText property to provide custom text for the next page button. The Mode property must be set to PagerMode.NextPrev for this property to have any effect.

This property is used along with the PrevPageText property to create a custom set of controls for the next and previous buttons of the pager on the DataGrid control.

System_CAPS_noteNote

This property does not automatically encode special characters to HTML. You need to convert these characters to the appropriate HTML value. For example the greater than sign (>) will not automatically convert to >.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the NextPageText property to specify custom text for the next page navigation button of the pager element.
