In Entity Framework, using LINQ to Entities, database paging is usually done in following manner:
int totalRecords = EntityContext.Context.UserSet.Count; var list = EntityContext.Context.UserSet .Skip(startingRecordNumber) .Take(pageSize) .ToList();
This results in TWO database calls.
Please tell, how to reduce it to ONE database call.
Thank You.
mvc is a package for paging and sorting for ASP.NET MVC. PagedList package installs a PagedList collection type and extension methods for IQueryable and IEnumerable collections. Table Data. Open a New Project.
The C# pagination logic is contained in a single Pager class that takes the following constructor arguments: totalItems (required) - the total number of items to be paged. currentPage (optional) - the current active page, defaults to the first page. pageSize (optional) - the number of items per page, defaults to 10.
Thanks to pagination, we can split our large dataset into chunks ( or pages ) that we can gradually fetch and display to the user, thus reducing the load on the database. Pagination also solves a lot of performance issues both on the client and server-side!
To filter data, use linq. You can not use Filter property of BindingSource when the underlying list is BindingList<T> ; Only underlying lists that implement the IBindingListView interface support filtering. To remove filter, just set the data source of your binding source to the local storage of your entities again.
Whats wrong with two calls? They are small and quick queries. Databases are designed to support lots of small queries.
A developing a complex solution to do one query for paging isn't going give you much pay off.
