Fetching data for one page at the time

[Alex]

Hello. I'm new to the Telerik Forum. I've been working with a MVC application for a few weeks now, and I need some help. 

My application is used for searching through log files and apply filtering and timespan before actually showing any data. When the data is shown in the grid, I want it to only load a certain amount of data. As of now, it's loading every entry, making the loading time for the grid extremely slow. The reason for this need is because the huge amount of data that will be populating the grid. My current grid is working fine with ajax databindning, though it's very ineffective since all the data is loaded each time the user applys filtering or paging.

How can this be achieved in MVC? I've been looking for a solution, though I haven't found what i'm looking for. There seems to be a solution for Telerik for ASP .NET AJAX .

Does your grid have .Pageable() added to it?

For example:

Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .Pageable(paging =>
            paging.PageSize(20)
                  .Style(GridPagerStyles.NextPreviousAndNumeric)
                  .Position(GridPagerPosition.Bottom)
        )
?

I tried that, not sure if it actually works. What does it do exactly?

what it does, is take all your rows of data into pages of 20 items each, and then add numbers to the bottom of the grid to be able to cycle through the pages.
