How to Write the Code for Paging First, Next, Previous and Last.

1. Paging for First Button: Double click on the "First" Button and use the following code for it.
   protected void btnfirst_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
      gridview1.PageIndex = 0;
   }
   
   
   Explanation: when you run the page it contains 6 records in GridView.
   
   Suppose the user is in the last page. When the user clicks on the "First Button" the first 6 records of the page are displayed in the GridView. So the first GridView page Index(property) is "zero". There is a Property called "PageIndex" for GridView.
    
2. Paging for Next Button: Double click on the "Next Button" and use the following code for it.
    
   protected void btnnext_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
        int i = gridview1.PageIndex + 1;
        if (i <= gridview1.PageCount)
        {
             gridview1.PageIndex = i;
   }
