Creating a simple Pager user control with ASP.NET and C#

The following is a simple user control that will display a Pager functionality for any type of web page that deals with large amount of data that need to be segmented in pages.

This is part of a larger project and perhaps in the future I will present the finished project, but for now this user control can help us organize our data with a data list.

1. Create a new web site project in Visual Studio
2. Add a new Web User control named Pager.
3. In Source View (Asp.Net) write the following code
4. <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Pager.ascx.cs" Inherits="UserControls_Pager" %>
   <p>
   Page
   <asp:Label ID="currentPageLabel" runat="server" />
   of
   <asp:Label ID="howManyPagesLabel" runat="server" />
   
   
   <asp:HyperLink ID="previousLink" runat="server">Previous</asp:HyperLink>
   
   
   <asp:Repeater ID="pagesRepeater" runat="server">
       <ItemTemplate>
           <asp:HyperLink ID="hyperlink" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Page") %>' NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("Url") %>' />
       </ItemTemplate>
   </asp:Repeater>
   <asp:HyperLink ID="nextLink" runat="server">Next</asp:HyperLink>
   </p>
