DataGridPagerStyle.PrevPageText Property
Gets or sets the text displayed for the previous page button.
[Visual Basic] Public Property PrevPageText As String [C#] public string PrevPageText {get; set;} [C++] public: __property String* get_PrevPageText(); public: __property void set_PrevPageText(String*); [JScript] public function get PrevPageText() : String; public function set PrevPageText(String);
Property Value
The text to display for the previous page button. The default value is "<", which renders as the less than sign (<).
Remarks
Use the PrevPageText 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 NextPageText property to create a custom appearance for the next and previous buttons of the pager on the DataGrid control.
Note This property does not automatically encode special characters to HTML. You need to convert special characters to the appropriate HTML value. For example, the greater than symbol (>) will not automatically convert to >.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#] The following example demonstrates how to use the PrevPageText property to specify custom text for the previous page navigation button of the pager element.
