Best way of Listview custom paging with Datapager and objectdatasource
Introduction
Listview with paging is very frequent usage for asp.net webapplication. In this post we will see how we can achieve best performance paging with listview.
I ended up explaining to some of the senior developers what is meant by paging and why we implement. This basic and very important thing should always be remembered.
Hope this post will cover how to implement paging for any large amount of data.
While binding listview, the best way is get only current page data. When user clicks next page, the next page data should be fetched.
Pagination display should be managed by getting total number of records in the datasource table.
If the code does not follow this basic logic, then the purpose of using paging implementation is not achieved.
What are covered in this article
- Listview paging using datapager and objectdatasource the optimized way
- Getting only current page contents (do not get full data)
- Setting pager control by getting total number of records
- Refresh objectdatasource data if any update happens
- Load specific page
- Access page controls in selectmethod of objectdatasource
- Manage dispose of objectdatasource
