[Solved] Pagination Without Total

[Jose Miguel]

Hello all, is there a way of supporting pagination (as custom binding) without having the total count in advance? i do not require the numbers for pagination only the arrows to go back and forth.

Thanks

Hi Jose,

You can hide the numbers and the status text (if needed) by using the following styles:

div.t-pager .t-numeric
{
    display: none;
}

div.t-grid-pager .t-status-text
{
    display: none;
}

Hi, i'm actually more interested douring the custom binding time, it appears that you need to have the "total count of records" up fronth, i'm asking more if we can have pagination without having the total count.

Hi Jose Miguel,

 The total count is required in order to determine the number of available pages. I am afraid the grid pagination won't work without total.

All the best,

Sorry to resurrect this old thread.. however I have a follow up question.

I have a data source over roughly 200 million and I'm using OData (setup like the blog post).

The actual query takes a few MS - however the count takes 10 seconds.  I tried setting .Total on the paging configuration but it seems like that's ignored.  If no filters are applied, I'd like to return a cached value from the server (possibly embedded into the page or something).  If filters are supplied, I'd like to use the default inline count behavior.

I'm using WCF Data services for the backend ... haven't found a way to do it there but still looking.

Any advice?
