Remarks

Use this property to provide a custom style for the paging section of the DataGrid control. Common style attributes that can be adjusted include forecolor, backcolor, font, and content alignment within the cell. Providing a different style enhances the appearance of the DataGrid control.

To specify a custom style for the paging section, place the <PagerStyle> tags between the opening and closing tags of the DataGrid control. You can then list the style attributes within the opening <PagerStyle> tag.
