Paging in Entity Framework

Question

In Entity Framework, using LINQ to Entities, database paging is usually done in following manner:

int totalRecords = EntityContext.Context.UserSet.Count;
var         


        

Answer 1

Whats wrong with two calls? They are small and quick queries. Databases are designed to support lots of small queries.

A developing a complex solution to do one query for paging isn't going give you much pay off.
