    I'm also looking at using an ASP.NET core WebAPI to allow binding of the Grid to DocumentDB/CosmosDB, Cosmos DB doesn't supports the LINQ generated syntax for SKIP when using paging; is there away to tell the grid to perform paging but remove the page number and/or first/last buttons so a using may only navigate forward/back using the cosmos continuation tokens.   IMHO this is a major feature that Cosmos DB has missed out :'(  not sure how you navigate large datasets without a SKIP/TOP and query nesting server side.

    Hi Grahame,

    Basically you can achieve your goal by applying a custom logic that returns the data as it is expected by the grid. You should also configure the read method to pass the skip and take parameters on the server to process the request.

    I have a custom WebAPI controller then does this; however paging using SKIP results in errors as CosmosDB hasn't support for the SKIP; I'm looking for away to do paging in a forward only manor showing page numbers (buttons) that are disabled; given CosmosDB has limited linq support.

    Hello,

    I am afraid that this is out of our scope. According to the following Azure feedback item Support for Skip is under review, so you can vote for it and hopefully it will available soon:
