Linq Paginator

Retrieve collection results from IQueryable<T>, IEnumerable<T> or any array based data type that inherits IEnumerable and packages the results into pages for easy fetching to enable lazy loading data on UI components in a fast way when pulling large sets of data.

Install

Install package from Nuget by running the following command in Package Manager Console.

Install-Package LinqPaginator

Then go ahead add a using statement to reference the already downloaded package.

using LinqPaginator;

This library works with almost all arrays that inherit from ICollection<T> and it provides an extension method to paginate your collection as shown below passing a page number and the number of items to return per page.

Sample Data:

IList<string> _names = new List<string>();
_names.Add("Test-01");
_names.Add("Test-02");
_names.Add("Test-03");
_names.Add("Test-04");
_names.Add("Test-05");

Usage

You can use either of the methods.

PagedResult<string> result = _names.Page(page: 1, perpage: 2);
PagedResult<string> result = _names.Paged(page: 1, perpage: 2);
PagedResult<string> result = _names.Paginate(page: 1, perpage: 2);
PagedResult<string> result = _names.ToPages(page: 1, perpage: 2);
PagedResult<string> result = _names.ToPaginate(page: 1, perpage: 2);
