ASP.NET MVC: PagedList

http://blog.wekeroad.com/2007/12/10/aspnet-mvc-pagedlistt/

In some of his demos, ScottGu used a method that we didn’t include in the MVCToolkit called “PagedList<T>”, which basically pages a Linq query. I’m hoping to include this in the next drop of the Toolkit, but until then, I have the code for you :). Just drop this into a code file on your site, the Extension method will be picked up by any class “using” System.Web.Mvc:

using  System;
using  System.Collections.Generic;
using  System.Linq;

namespace  System.Web.Mvc
{
    public interface IPagedList
    {
        int TotalCount
        {
            get;
            set;
        }

        int PageIndex
        {
            get;
            set;
        }

        int PageSize
        {
            get;
            set;
        }

        bool IsPreviousPage
        {
            get;
        }

        bool IsNextPage
        {
            get;
        }
    }

    public class PagedList<T> : List<T>, IPagedList
    {
        public PagedList(IQueryable<T> source, int index, int pageSize)
        {
            this.TotalCount = source.Count();
            this.PageSize = pageSize;
            this.PageIndex = index;
            this.AddRange(source.Skip(index * pageSize).Take(pageSize).ToList());
        }    

        public PagedList(List<T> source, int index, int pageSize)
        {
            this.TotalCount = source.Count();
            this.PageSize = pageSize;
            this.PageIndex = index;
            this.AddRange(source.Skip(index * pageSize).Take(pageSize).ToList());
        }

        public int TotalCount
        {
            get; set;
        }

        public int PageIndex
        {
            get; set;
        }

        public int PageSize
        {
            get; set;
        }

        public bool IsPreviousPage
        {
            get
            {
                return (PageIndex > 0);
            }
        }

        public bool IsNextPage
        {
            get
            {
                return (PageIndex * PageSize) <=TotalCount;
            }
        }
    }

    public static class Pagination
    {
        public static PagedList<T> ToPagedList<T>(this IQueryable<T> source, int index, int pageSize)
        {
            return new PagedList<T>(source, index, pageSize);
        }

        public static PagedList<T> ToPagedList<T>(this IQueryable<T> source, int index)
        {
            return new PagedList<T>(source, index, 10);
        }
    }
}
