---

Sets the style properties for the pager element in a DataGrid.

<asp:datagrid ... 
   pagerstyle-styleproperty=value
   ... >

</asp:datagrid>

or

<asp:datagrid ... >

   <pagerstyle
      ... template style definition here
   </pagerstyle>

</asp:datagrid>

A DataGridPagerStyle object that defines the style properties for the pager element in a DataGrid.

Use this property to provide a custom style for the page selection elements in the DataGrid control. Common style attributes that can be set include forecolor, backcolor, font, and content alignment within the cell. Providing different item styles enhances the appearance of the DataGrid control.

To specify a custom style for the items of the DataGrid, declare an <PagerStyle> element between the opening and closing tags of the control. You can then list the style attributes within the opening <PagerStyle> tag.

The below snippet shows setting the PagerStyle property of a DataGrid control at design time.

<asp:datagrid id = "myGrid" runat = "server"
   ...
   allowpaging pagesize=3
   onPageIndexChanged = "getPage">

   <pagerstyle
      nextpagetext = "Next" prevpagetext = "Back"
      backcolor = "navy" forecolor = "lime"
      font-name = "comic sans ms" font-size=9pt font-bold
      pagebuttoncount=10
      horizontalalign = "right" />

   <columns>
      ... 
   </columns>

</asp:datagrid>
