Efficient GridView Paging... not quite getting it

I'm trying to wrap my head around custom paging in the ASP.NET Gridview, but all of the examples I read seem to be bloated with stuff I don't need (Scott Gu's for example).

Can someone point me in the right direction to a tutorial that is easy to understand the basics?

EXAMPE: If I have the following Stored Procedure... 

Alter Procedure dbo.GetReqeusts

@Category nvarchar(50)

As
Begin
  Select dbo.[Name], 
         dbo.[ID] 
  From   dbo.[Table] 
  Where  dbo.[Category] = @Category
End

And this example returns 200 rows, how would I convert this Stored Procedure into an efficient paging procedure?

4guysfromrolla.com have a whole series of articles about working with and displaying data. There are several about custom paging.

The key point for the stored procedure is to use the ROW_NUMBER() function to restrict the records to be returned:

SELECT RowNum, [Name], [ID]
FROM
   (SELECT [Name], [ID]
         ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY [ID]) as RowNum
    FROM [Table] t
    WHERE [Category] = @Category
   ) as DerivedTableName
WHERE RowNum BETWEEN @startRowIndex AND (@startRowIndex + @maximumRows) - 1
