    Is there a best practice for custom paging with ObjectDataSource and OpenAccess ORM? Because ObjectDataSource  need to provide two method: the one is used to get total record number and another method is used to get all record of selected page. How to write the code with context class and have a good performance?

    Hello Jin,

     The performance will be the expected one if you just use the Count() LINQ method to extract the total number of records from the database for a specific entity. Then you should again use LINQ with the Skip() and Take() calls so you can extract the exact records that you want to show in the UI.

    int count = context.Products.Count();
    IList<Product> pageOfProducts = context.Products.Skip(10).Take(10).ToList();
