Remarks

Use the PrevPageText property to provide custom text for the next page button. The Mode property must be set to PagerMode.NextPrev for this property to have any effect.

This property is used along with the NextPageText property to create a custom appearance for the next and previous buttons of the pager on the DataGrid control.

Note

This property does not automatically encode special characters to HTML. You need to convert special characters to the appropriate HTML value. For example, the greater than sign (>) will not automatically convert to >.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
