Paging in a data view web part

Question

When using a Data View WebPart to retrieve items from a list, The WebPart shows the results as 1-10, then next page is 11-20 and so on. It does not show whether is it 1-10 of 10 or of 10000.

Is there anyway that I can customize the Data View WebPart to show paging as 1-10 of X for example?

Answer 1

There is usually a RowCount variable already defined. If not you can define it like this:

<xsl:variable name="RowCount" select="count($Rows)" />

You can just output that variable where you need to in the xslt.

Answer 2

I have the same issue. But the answer given here will just show the count of the rows currently displayed in the view. Like if we have 10 rows displayed, than the count($Rows) only gives 10. But I want to display like "1-10 Out of 100". How to get the total count ? (I am using Sharepoint dataview webpart.)
