Gets or sets a value that represents the maximum number of data rows that a data source control returns for a data retrieval operation.
Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.
The DataSourceSelectArguments.MaximumRows property supports paging scenarios. Data-bound controls check a data source view's DataSourceView.CanPage property at run time, and add a DataSourceCapabilities.Page capability using the DataSourceSelectArguments.AddSupportedCapabilities(DataSourceCapabilities) method if the view supports paging. If the data-bound control fails to add the capability, and the paging properties are set on a System.Web.UI.DataSourceSelectArguments object passed to the data source view during a data retrieval operation, an InvalidOperationException exception might be thrown.
The data-bound control can request a subset of data from a data source control for paging by setting the DataSourceSelectArguments.StartRowIndex and DataSourceSelectArguments.MaximumRows properties on the System.Web.UI.DataSourceSelectArguments object passed to the DataSourceView.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments, DataSourceViewSelectCallback) method.
If any of the System.Web.UI.DataSourceSelectArguments properties are set, but the currently bound data source control does not support the requested capability, an InvalidOperationException exception is thrown when the DataSourceSelectArguments.RaiseUnsupportedCapabilitiesError(DataSourceView) method is called.
