Or if you are using a DataView to fetch de DataGrid you can use
DataView.Count.

 Hope it helps

Thanks, Saravana, Carlso. And, as Carlos suggested in his reply, I do have a function that uses the DataView to get the count as shown here

   Function PassengerCount(ByVal DataItem As Object) As Integer
       Dim drv As DataRowView = DataItem
       Dim intPassengers As Integer
       intPassengers = drv.DataView.Count()
       PassengerCount = intPassengers
   End Function

Though I'm not certain that's the most efficient way to do it. But, because I'm using BoundColumns in the ASP.NET page, I can't call this function as the value of HeaderText for one of those BoundColumns. I can use GetChildRelation from the DataList one level above the DataGrids, get a count from the resulting DataView and display the results there. But I want to show the count with each DataGrid not just once in the containing DataList. But generating a DataView twice instead of once seems wasteful.

Any thoughts about how to display the results in the header of the DataGrids?

    You can calculate the count using datagrid.items. But datagrid items will
    include header,footer and pager. If you have any of these items, then
    substract these from  datagrid.items. Then it will give you total number of
    items in that datagrid. I hope this should help you
