Question: Is it possible to add:

"First, Last, Next, Previous" options to the GridView paging? I can't seem to figure it out. All I can get are numbers and >> for last and << for first...

Answer: 
Set the value of the PageText properties of the PagerSettings section:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

```
<asp:GridView ID="gridView" runat="server" AllowPaging="True">
    <PagerSettings  Mode="NextPreviousFirstLast" FirstPageText="First" PreviousPageText="Previous" NextPageText="Next" LastPageText="Last" />
</asp:GridView>

```

You can set these values from the Properties window in the designer too ..
Yes it is possible using PagerSettings property of gridview, all you need to do is- set Mode of PagerSetting to 'NextPreviousFirstLast' so that you can use "First, Last, Next, Previous" option for paging with gridview.

```
  <PagerSettings  Mode="NextPreviousFirstLast" FirstPageText="First" PreviousPageText="Previous" NextPageText="Next" LastPageText="Last" />

```

There are three more properties of Mode like "NextPrevious" , "Numeric" and "NumericFirstLast"

to use them ..

NextPrevious : 

```
 <PagerSettings Mode="NextPrevious" PreviousPageText="Previous" NextPageText="Next"/>

```

Numeric : 

```
  <PagerSettings  Mode="Numeric" />

```

NumericFistLast : 

```
      <PagerSettings  Mode="NumericFistLast" />

```
