Hello,

Can I make a Data Pager to work with a ListView without using some kind of Data Source like LinqDataSource?

Thanks,

Miguel 

Hi,

of course, you may bind the databound web controls to any Array or IEnumerable. You just have to declare the binding within your code (e.g. Page_Load event):

First, asign your data object to ListView.DataSource (do not confuse with DataSourceID) and then call ListView.DataBind()

Yes, you can.

See my sample,

            <asp:ListView ID="lvItems" runat="server" 
        ItemPlaceholderID="layoutTemplate"
        onpagepropertieschanged="lvItems_PagePropertiesChanged" onpagepropertieschanging="lvItems_PagePropertiesChanging"
                >
                <LayoutTemplate>
                    <div id="layoutTemplate" runat="server" />
                </LayoutTemplate>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <div class="itemdisplay">
                        <b>
                            <asp:Label ID="lblid" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("RegionID") %>'></asp:Label></b><br />
                        <asp:Label ID="lblreg" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("RegionDescription")%>'></asp:Label></div>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:ListView>
      

       
       
       
                <p>
                    <asp:DataPager ID="DataPager1" runat="server" PagedControlID="lvItems" PageSize="3">
                        <Fields>
                            <asp:NextPreviousPagerField ButtonType="Button" ShowFirstPageButton="True"
                                ShowLastPageButton="True" />
                        </Fields>
                    </asp:DataPager>
                </p>

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                bind();
            }
        }

        private void bind()
        {
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\NORTHWND.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Region]", con);
            sda.Fill(ds);
            this.lvItems.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
            lvItems.DataBind();
        }

        protected void lvItems_PagePropertiesChanging(object sender, PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs e)
        {
            this.DataPager1.SetPageProperties(e.StartRowIndex, e.MaximumRows, false);
            bind();
        }

        protected void lvItems_PagePropertiesChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           
        }
