I want to explore the possibility of adding a custom pager (next & previous with the page number dropdown list) to our project. The project still uses the "igtbl:UltraWebGrid". The project was recently upgraded from 6.3 to 11.2. Is there a built in pager template or something like that I can change to accomplish my goal?
I couldn't find any online documentation for the "classic" controls and zero for the 11.2 Framework 2.0 controls.
Thanks in advance.
Hello SideByEach,
Inform me if you have additional questions.
In the following link you can see the possible look of the pager based on pager style enumeration - http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2010.3/CLR4.0/html/Infragistics4.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.v10.3~Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.PagerStyleMode.html
Test these pager appearances by setting "PagerStyleMode" property of the grid to one of them.
If they are not suitable in your scenario you can follow this guide that shows how to build custom pager - http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2011.1/CLR4.0/html/WebGrid_Using_Custom_Paging.html
If you want to use our new Aikido grid instead you can see this example showing "Previous" and "Next" pager - http://samples.infragistics.com/aspnet/Samples/WebDataGrid/Navigation/Paging-Previous-Next-Pager/Default.aspx?cn=data-grid&sid=1dabbd1a-aab5-491d-9ec4-8a06409d4704
My mistake, we upgraded the project to 11.1 not 11.2. We did not know that the classic controls were going to be discontinued. It was unfortunate that that was not communicated to us when we renewed our license. But someone else's head I will need to bite off later.
The documentation you linked doesn't really seem to give any hints on whether a custom pager can be used. Can you bottom line it for me? Is there a means to create a completely separate pager that will work with the UltraWebGrid?
Our classic controls were retired in version 11.2 that is why their assemblies was not added to this release and in the documentation for 11.2.

About your question – you can see a guide on how to implement custom paging on “UltraWebGrid” in our documentation here - http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2011.1/CLR4.0/html/WebGrid_Paging.html
Our controls have similar functionality with CLR 2, 3 and 4 – the main difference is the limitations based on the different .NET Framework capabilities.
Let me know if you have additional questions.
