Using a PagedList with a ViewModel ASP.Net MVC

Question

I\'m trying to using a PagedList in my ASP.Net application and I found this example on the Microsoft website http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/getting-started-with-ef-using-m

Answer 1

The fact that you're using a view model has no bearing. The standard way of using PagedList is to store "one page of items" as a ViewBag variable. All you have to determine is what collection constitutes what you'll be paging over. You can't logically page multiple collections at the same time, so assuming you chose Instructors:

ViewBag.OnePageOfItems = myViewModelInstance.Instructors.ToPagedList(pageNumber, 10);

Then, the rest of the standard code works as it always has.
