In DevExpress XtraGrid the CustomDrawFooter event can be used to show the record count in the footer.

Example usage is shown below.

private void myListDataView_CustomDrawFooter(object sender, Views.Base.RowObjectCustomDrawEventArgs e) { e.Painter.DrawObject(e.Info); Font f = new Font(e.Appearance.Font, FontStyle.Bold); GridView view = sender as GridView; string sum = string.Format("{0}", view.DataRowCount + " RECORDS"); Point point = new Point(e.Bounds.Right - 125, e.Bounds.Top + 10); e.Graphics.DrawString(sum, f, Brushes.Black, point); e.Handled = true; }
