Paging documentation anywhere?

[Sam]

I can't seem to find any documenation on using paging in mvccontrib2.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

There currently isn't any specific documentation for the paging support, although I do cover it in my blog posts on the grid. Do you have any particular questions about it? If so, I'd be happy to answer them.

Ok. I did see how to implement lazy paging, but I'd like to see the other ways to implement it as well. 

Thanks!

There are two implementations of IPagination - LazyPagination and CustomPagination.

When you use the AsPagination extension method on IEnumerable, by default this will create a LazyPagination which uses LINQ's Take/Skip functionality to page the collection the first time it is enumerated.

CustomPagination allows you to implement your own paging mechanism (for example, if you have already pre-paged your data in the database), in which case you can just new it up and pass in the required information:

var pagination = new CustomPagination<Person>(myAlreadyPagedCollectionOfPerson, currentPageNumber, pageSize, totalNumberOfItems);

So this will not perform any paging for you automatically, but instead infer that you have already paged the data yourself via whatever mechanism.
