Forcing ASP.NET GridView's pager to show
Ok, that wasn't too hard :-)
Based on my initial testing the following did the trick:
GridViewRow pagerRow = (GridViewRow) this.BottomPagerRow;if(pagerRow != null && pagerRow.Visible == false)pagerRow.Visible = true;I just added that to overridden OnPreRender, and lo, pager is visible, even when there is just one page page of data shown. Got to do some additional testing before I can be sure, though. Seems to simple to me.
The above will workBut this might be helpful also
GridView.BottomPagerRow.Visible=true
protected void GridView_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) { GridView gv = (GridView)sender; GridViewRow pagerRow = (GridViewRow)gv.BottomPagerRow; if (pagerRow != null && pagerRow.Visible == false) pagerRow.Visible = true; }
