Hi all, I recently learned from reading that bots and spiders can't penetrate a multi-page GridView with built-in paging, they can only read the first page. It was a true Doh! moment, I don't know why it never occurred to me to check that, but there you go. The paging links are javascript, not url's, so bots can't read them. There are a few solutions to this, each has pluses and minuses. Here is another option. I hijacked the paging row on the GridView and inserted paging links that are url's. Its not a perfect solution because it bypasses .NET state processing and I have to be careful with querystring, but it was the right fit for what I was doing. I created a demo application with complete source code and solution files that you can run online and download as well. Hope it helps. http://www.nicecleanexample.com/ViewApp.aspx?TID=gridviewnavmod John
