Hello Mike,

Thank you for posing in our forums.

I think you mean the below article

http://community.infragistics.com/aspnet/articles/learn-to-build-a-webdatagrid-custom-pager.aspx

In the custom page in the article is included TotalRowCount in the custom control

In the online sample is included totatl page count as per your requirement

In order to function like Ajax the grid is added inside UpdatePanel

Can you please specify what do you mean by "Ajax style pager"?

Hope hearing from you

However the problem is that the template gets instantiated at the Init/PreInit stage, and the data does not get loaded until OnLoadComplete (following advice from Infragistics support).  The paging work, but can't display the PageCount because it doesn't know the number of records at the point where the pager is instantiated.

I tried calling Behaviors.Paging.InstantiateTemplates() after establishing the number of data records, in order to regenerate the custom pager with the reqired info, but the method throws a null pointer exception.

Is there any way to update a pager template after it has been instatntiated?

however when I access Behaviors.Paging.PagerTemplateContainerTop it has no controls, no ID, for that matter.

Any ideas?
