How do I do pagination in ASP.NET MVC?

by

Well, what is the data source? Your action could take a few defaulted arguments, i.e.

ActionResult Search(string query, int startIndex, int pageSize) {...}

defaulted in the routes setup so that startIndex is 0 and pageSize is (say) 20:

        routes.MapRoute("Search", "Search/{query}/{startIndex}",
                        new
                        {
                            controller = "Home", action = "Search",
                            startIndex = 0, pageSize = 20
                        });

To split the feed, you can use LINQ quite easily:

var page = source.Skip(startIndex).Take(pageSize);

(or do a multiplication if you use “pageNumber” rather than “startIndex”)

With LINQ-toSQL, EF, etc – this should “compose” down to the database, too.

You should then be able to use action-links to the next page (etc):

<%=Html.ActionLink("next page", "Search", new {
                query, startIndex = startIndex + pageSize, pageSize }) %>
