C# .NET: Entity Framework (EF) Pagination

The following are examples of pagination using EF.

• List By Page
• List By Page With a Filter/Where Clause
• List By Page Using a Join

*EF 5.0
*OrderBy Clause Required

copy
//List By Page 1
public List<Entities.Object1> List(int page, int recordsPerPage)
{
	int recordsToSkip = 0;
	if (page <= 0)
	{
		page = 1;
	}
	recordsToSkip = (page - 1) * recordsPerPage;

	return this.Db.Objects1.OrderBy(x => x.Id).Skip(recordsToSkip).Take(recordsPerPage).ToList();
}
//List By Page 1
public List<Entities.Object1> List(int page, int recordsPerPage)
{
	int recordsToSkip = 0;
	if (page <= 0)
	{
		page = 1;
	}
	recordsToSkip = (page - 1) * recordsPerPage;

	var query = from objects in this.Db.Objects1
				orderby objects.Id
				select objects;

	return query.Skip(recordsToSkip).Take(recordsPerPage).ToList();
}


//List By Page With a Filter/Where Clause 1
public List<Entities.Object1> List_By_StatusId(int statusId, int page, int recordsPerPage)

	if (statusId > 0)
	{
		int recordsToSkip = 0;

		return this.Db.Objects1.Where(x => x.StatusId == statusId).OrderBy(x => x.Id).Skip(recordsToSkip).Take(recordsPerPage).ToList();
	}

	return new List<Entities.Object1>();
}
//List By Page With a Filter/Where Clause 2

//List By Page Using a Join
