Hi, 

I've recently started learning DAL 2 with DNN 7 to develop my custom module. I've worked little bit with DAL+ APIs before and had used ListView control with datapager for pagination. 

I'm converting my module to use DAL2 so that I can learn it. 

How can I use GetPage and bind ListView with proper pagination in place?

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for your advice. I'm particularly looking to learn how to use IRepository<T> that resides under Dotnetnuke.data namesapce. There are two ways to get page:

IPagedList<T> GetPage(int pageIndex, int pageSize); 

IPagedList<T> GetPage<TScopeType>(TScopeType scopeValue, int pageIndex, int pageSize);

I know how to bind the data with a list view control. How can I use this to bind with a data pager control? 

is there any way to use IPagedList  members like pagecount, pageindex, etc. with data pager or other pager control? Or do I just need to read these pagedlist properties and give a prev, next, page numbers on the screen myself?

Thanks

Sid

Hi Cathal, 

I've recently started changing my modules to support DNN 7 as I developed it for DNN 6. No doubt, it works for 7 as well but I thought to learn the latest version in the process. 

I'd like to learn this version first instead of just start to learn another new version - DNN 8. 

I'm able to fetch records using new DAL 2 APIs. Its really good as it takes care of the caching as well when working on pagination.

The only thing I don't understand is how to plug this IPagedList members to a pager in my module. Till date I've been using datapager that just takes care of everything behind the scenes. 

Can you please guide me in the right direction?

Thanks
