What custom grid are you talking about? Is it a third party control? — Pradeep, Dec 02 '10 at 04:46
no thirdparty control use the existing gridview and override the methods for the paging and sorting — Vara Prasad.M, Dec 02 '10 at 04:54

I have answered a similar question here How does pagination work in ASP.NET(Using VB.NET)?. You should not enable built-in pagination and sorting of asp.net grid.

Your main task is to figure out the delta of your data that you need to display on your grid. Put your logic related to sorting and pagination in DB. Having the logic in DB reduces the network usage. Once you have desired dataset with you, you bind it to your grid. HTH.
