Paging with Entity Framework 7 and SQL Server 2008

Question

I\'m trying to use paging (that is .Skip(...).Take(...) in Entity Framework 7. It works OK with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and 2014, but fails with the following

Answer 1

You need to use something like this :

var MinPageRank = (pageIndex - 1) * pageSize + 1;
var MaxPageRank = (pageIndex * pageSize);

var person = _context.Person.FromSql($"SELECT * FROM (SELECT [RANK] = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Surname),* FROM Person) A WHERE A.[RANK] BETWEEN {MinPageRank} AND {MaxPageRank}").ToList();

IQueryable PersonIQ = from s in person.AsQueryable() select s;
Person = await PaginatedList.CreateAsync(PersonIQ .AsNoTracking(), pageIndex ?? 1, pageSize, sourceFull);
