I have a GridView with paging. When I try to count gridview row with gridview.rows.count, It gives me row count for current page only.
How can I get total rows of GridView irrespective of page index?
// Here is the code of .aspx page
<%@ Page Title="Search candidates based on vacancy" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/HR Department/hrmasterpage.master"
AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="searcAppForVac.aspx.cs" Inherits="HR_Department_searcAppForVac" %>

}
Now I want to send mail to all those candidates whose checkbox is checked..
I trid so many things but didnt get any solution

if you're using sqldatasource or objectdatasource You need to use the ReturnValue of the ObjectDataSourceStatusEventArgs or SqlDataSourceStatusEventArgs while handling the datasource's Selected event.
If you are using sqldatasource, you can count the total rows using the 'Selected' event which gets fired after the select operation has been completed.
If you're using object data source, it's important to note that the Selected event on the ODS gets called twice, once returning the data set, and again to call the method you specified in the SelectCountMethod property. Simply test to see if the return is an Int32 in the event.
You can find a working example at: http://www.webswapp.com/codesamples/aspnet20/dropdownlist_gridview/default.aspx
if your GridView is being filled by a DataSet or DataTable:
If you are binding the list or array of objects then you can do the following:
