datalist does not supports paging.
You can page the data but you'd need to write sal to pull only the data required. Then add hyperlinks to the page to more to the next a previous pages. Of courcse you need to detect what page you are on and how many pages there are. Finally to need to make sure that the last page only shows the last page of data and not the last full page of data (105 row in databse witha page size of 10 would give 11 pages the last of whihg should only have 5 rows on it).
You can do that or you can just use a datagrid. Using the appropriate css you can make a datagrid look just like a datalist but you get the paging (and sorting) thrown in.

No there isn't - really. That's why they invented the datagrid. Don't worry about the table like appearance of the grid - you can get rid of it using using styles.

No I said use a datagrid. The datagrid is rendered as a table in HTML but that does not mean it has to look like a table. Many pages on the web use tables for page layout (this one included) and they don't all look like tables of data. I suggest that if you need paging you need to use a datagrid rather than a datalist.

aha ok
but the problem is i need the form of datalist not datagrid ..
bcoze the datagrid layout is unchangable ,so u can't form the layout that u want unless using table or datalist
for e.g
do u see the form of this current page , which includes my question above and the comments down
i want to program like this page ... in this shape
i wish u understand me ..
