To create a paging view, you need to specify the page size (20 in the example above) and a key selector by which to sort, because paging can only be done over sorted data.</p> <p>Since a paging view is a <a href="C1.Data.Entity.4~C1.Data.ClientView`1.html">ClientView</a>, it supports the two fundamental features of client views: it is cache-aware and live. The performance-enhancing cache-awareness of a paging view allows it to avoid round-trips to the server when a page is requested repeatedly. And since a paging view is live (as any <a href="C1.Data.Entity.4~C1.Data.ClientView%601.html">ClientView</a>), it reflects changes that you make to the data on the client. For example, if you delete an entity that is currently in a paging view, it will automatically adjust itself to the changed data, including, if needed, fetching some entities from the server to occupy vacant places on the page.</p> <p> </p> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
