How to Customize GridView Pager at Runtime Using ObjectDataSource

To display bulk amounts of data in a GridView, it's often better to use Paging concept. When creating a pageable GridView whose underlying data is coming from an ObjectDataSource, you'll need to ensure that your Business Logic Layer includes methods that have input parameters that specify how to create the Paging Details. The ObjectDataSource supports both the default and custom paging models.
