how to return specific ammount of list entries - c# asp.net mvc

Question

Hello all,

for example i have some list with 120 entries.

 Threads = new List<Thread>();

and i will return to show in my view just 10 of them.

I have a properties like, TotalCount, TotalPages, PageSize=10, PageIndex. How can I do that?

Take care, Ragims

Answer 1

Do a google search on "Paging with LINQ" and you'll get a ton of ideas. LINQ really makes it easier to do this sort of thing.

Answer 2

How about Threads.Skip(PageIndex*PageSize).Take(PageSize) ?

(Edit: this depends on linq extension methods)

Answer 3

Use a combination of Skip and Take:

var threads = new List<Thread>();

// Fill the list

threads.Skip(PageSize * (PageIndex - 1)).Take(PageSize);

Or, if PageIndex is zero based (the first page is PageIndex = 0) then:

threads.Skip(PageSize * PageIndex).Take(PageSize);
