title: Is custom paging of GridView (in ASP.NET, preferably 3.5) possible without using ObjectDataSource?
body: <p>See title.</p>
  
  <p>Using ObjectDataSource is associated in my mind with quick demos that you can see at conferences and in video tutorials (which typically tells me "don't do it this way in production").<br>
  Also I always like to have control over what's going on and when it happens. My other problem with ObjectDataSource is that is's declarative.</p>
  
  <p>Looking forward for your help and opinions.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:
  I'm retrieving only one page of results from the database and the GridView.PageCount is read-only [sic!].</p>
