I am unable to make paging work in the Data View Web Part on SharePoint 2010. I selected a paging option in the SharePoint Designer ribbon, but it does nothing. Limiting the number of items, in the same menu, works fine.

Am I missing something?

stupid question but are there more items than your page limit in your dataset? – Brian Brinley Oct 12 '10 at 14:34
:-) yes, I did a test with 11 items, and tried to select paging by 5 and paging by 5. Is paging working fine for you? – Christophe Oct 13 '10 at 4:10

I just did a very simple test. I created a Custom List with no additional columns beyond the Title and added 5 items to the list. Then I edited a default.aspx page (this is in my sandbox!) and added a Data View Web Part which simply shows the Title in Multiple Item View. Then I tried setting the paging to 1, 3, 5, all, etc. Every setting which I've tried works just fine.

I wonder what is different about your situation. What type of list is it? What type of columns are you showing, etc.?

Thanks Marc, let me try again and see how it goes. I think what I used was a tasks list. – Christophe Nov 12 '10 at 18:15
I just tested with a Tasks list and it works fine as well. – Marc D Anderson Nov 12 '10 at 19:42
