Question

I am building a MVC 2 application with SubSonic 3 – I have tried many differant paging methods and can find nothing that feels right.

I have a basic query that would be passed to a view which would loop and each iteration would call a strongly typed partial view.

        var SOQuestion= (
            from q in repo.All<SOQuestion>()
            orderby p.DateUpdated descending
            select p
            ).Skip(5).Take(10);

I want to be able to add filters where appropriate eg tag = "mvc" and/or user = "me" and at the same time page the results sensibly.

What solution is simple and neat?

Answer 1

You would use a where statement, as Lazarus describes.

If you need to do it dynamically (i.e. you don’t know which fields you will be filtering on ahead of time), have a look at the Dynamic Linq library.
