Change the returned rows in a gridview

[Oystein]

Hi!
I've got a DropDownlist with predefined numbers(5,10,15,20 etc.) which I
want to do a postback to the GridView pagesize, so that the user manually can
change returned rows. Is there a way to do that in the properties of the
Designview or must there be a code behind. If so, what is the code for this?

Given that there is a postback, it is reasonable to assume there has to be
some server-side code to handle the postback ... The code is as simple as:

gridview1.pagesize=dropdownlist1.selectedvalue


There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic asp newsgroup. ASP.Net bears
very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be lucky enough to
find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your question, you
can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a group where
those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.
