<asp:GridView ID="ItemsGrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
                CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" 
                onrowdatabound="ItemsGrid_RowDataBound" Width="466px"> 
                    <RowStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" ForeColor="#333333" />
                    <Columns> 
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Expand Details"> 
                            <ItemTemplate> 
                                <asp:HyperLink ID="ExpandCollapse" runat="server" Text="+"></asp:HyperLink>
                            </ItemTemplate> 
                        </asp:TemplateField> 
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Items"> 
                            <ItemTemplate> 
                            <asp:Label ID="lblStatTitle" runat="server"></asp:Label>
                            <asp:Panel ID="ItemDetails" runat="server" Style="display:none"> 
                                    <asp:GridView ID="SubGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="5" OnPageIndexChanging="SubGrid_PageIndexChanging">
                                        <Columns> 
                                        </Columns> 
                                    </asp:GridView> 
                                    </asp:Panel> 
                            </ItemTemplate> 
                        </asp:TemplateField> 
                    </Columns> 
                    <FooterStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
                    <PagerStyle BackColor="#284775" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
                    <SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#E2DED6" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
                    <HeaderStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
                    <EditRowStyle BackColor="#999999" />
                    <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" />
                </asp:GridView>

what i would like to do is to add the paging functionality to the 'Subgrid' Gridview.

On ASPX.CS

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) {
            BindGridToDS(GridView1.DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Value.ToString(), (GridView)e.Row.FindControl("GridView2"));
        }
    }

protected void GridView2_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e) {
        GridView gvwChild = ((GridView)sender);
        GridViewRow gvRowParent = ((GridView)sender).Parent.Parent as GridViewRow;

        gvwChild.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
        BindGridToDS(GridView1.DataKeys[gvRowParent.RowIndex].Value.ToString(), gvwChild);

        //show the div again after postback
        string strDIVID = "div" + GridView1.DataKeys[gvRowParent.RowIndex].Value.ToString();
        string cScript = "<script type=\"text/javascript\">ShowChildGrid('" + strDIVID + "');</script>";
        ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page), "clientscript", cScript);
    }

    private void BindGridToDS(string strCustomerID, GridView gv) {
        SqlDataSource dbSrc = new SqlDataSource();
        dbSrc.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["LocalConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
        dbSrc.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM Customer";// WHERE ProviderID = '" + strCustomerID + "' ORDER BY created";
        gv.DataSource = dbSrc;
        gv.DataBind();
    }

On the JS File JScript.js

function ShowChildGrid(obj)
{
    var div = document.getElementById(obj);
    var img = document.getElementById('img' + obj);
    var theFlag = div.style.display == "none";
    div.style.display = (theFlag) ? "inline" : "none";
    img.src = (theFlag) ? "Images/arrowdown.jpeg" : "Images/arrowright.jpeg";
}

Dont forget to add two images arrowright.jpeg and arrowdown.jpeg to an Images folder in your Solution.
