SharePoint List Pagination using SPListItemCollectionPosition
Description
This article will show you how to apply paging with sorting on search grid which gets data from sharepoint list by using SPQuery and SPListItemCollectionPosition.
Requirement:-
I have search page which is divided in 2 part; Search filter criteria and other is display result in grid. This page query to sharepoint list using object model and display result.
By thinking of performance; you will never try to get all results from sharepoint list. You have to query page by page. I mean query sharepoint list only for 10 page (page size=10) and display data.
Here I am giving detail about how to query for 10 page and get data. Then display pagination.
Precisely my page will do below things:-
1. Put caml query (only for page size which is set to 10 in my example) on sharepoint list
2. Filter on folder basis
3. Apply sorting
4. Display paging on search result page.
My hunt On Google:-
I have search on google lots but no where I find proper solution which handle sorting, paging with filter using caml query and folder query.
But still I like msdn and below 2 blogs from where I got basic understanding
http://www.directsharepoint.com/2011/03/step-by-step-guide-to-implement-paging.html
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/colbyafrica/archive/2009/02/19/learning-sharepoint-part-vi-list-pagination.aspx
The Code:
Below are 2 classes SearchDocuments and SearchPaging.
SearchDocuments: This class is code behind file my user control which manage search.
SearchPaging: This class set property for search results and search paging.

Summary
In this i felt all things are simple. Only Paging info, list item position, first item and last item need to set properly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
