Help with GridView custom Paging (asp.net c#)

[dixonjm]

Hi,

I have a gridview with 1000 + items in it and I have a dropdown list which contains all of the page number from the grid - when the user selects the dropdown list they are taken to that specific page number - this works a treat.

What I would like to do is change the dropdown list description to say 'Goto page A-C, Goto Page D-E. This will be more meaningful to the user as the Gridview contains customer names!

Any ideas? Please!

Thanks
Janet

Don't think that should be a big problem mate. Since, you already have done much of the work(custom paging in .net is huge!), you can just use a-c or d-e or whatever for the dropdown text and place the numbers as their corresponding value.
