I have an esDataSource control which a GridView control is bound to.  The esDataSource handles the total record count as well as the current (20) rows that should be displayed when paging.  Unfortunately, I am unable to show the count of this in my grid.  for example, I want it to say "Showing records 20-40 of 684" in the footer of the gridview.  does the esDataSource control return this property?  How can I do this?  I can't find it...I am sure hte answer is easy to you guys, I just dont know where it is.

Thank you,

Br

You can access the values needed to construct paging text in the esPostSelect event like so

protected void EsDataSource1_esPostSelect(object sender, EntitySpaces.Web.esDataSourceSelectEventArgs e)
{
	var emps = e.Collection as EmployeesCollection;

	if (emps != null)
	{
		int count = emps.Count;
		int pageNumber = emps.Query.es.PageNumber;
		int pageSize = emps.Query.es.PageSize;
	}
}
