ASP.NET Core Pager Overview
The Telerik UI Pager TagHelper and HtmlHelper for ASP.NET Core are server-side wrappers for the Kendo UI Pager widget. To add the component to your ASP.NET Core app, you can use either.
The Pager enables you to split a set of data into pages with flexible and intuitive UI. The user interface of the Pager is useful for paging data-bound components that have a data source and do not have a built-in UI for paging such as the ListView or scenarios that require paging options—for example, Kendo Templates with a data source.
You can customize the page number templates or use an input for navigation to a specific page, toggle the visibility of previous and next buttons, include a pagesize dropdown and alter the information messages. The pager API also offers the ability to localize its messages.
Initializing the Pager
To use the Pager, you have to define a standalone data source and pass it by name to the Pager and to the data-bound control that will use it.
The following example demonstrates how to tie a pager to a data source and enable the PageSizes()
functionality.
@(Html.Kendo().DataSource<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.OrderViewModel>()
.Name("dataSource1")
.Ajax(t=>t.Read(read => read.Action("People_Read", "Pager")).PageSize(20))
)
@(Html.Kendo().Pager()
.Name("pager")
.DataSource("dataSource1")
.PageSizes(true)
)
