Paging
By default, the paging functionality of the Kendo UI Grid for ASP.NET Core is disabled.
To control the paging in the Grid, use the Pageable option. Additionally, you have to specify the number of records to display on each page by setting the PageSize on the DataSource.
Example
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.OrderViewModel>()
.Name("Grid")
...
.Pageable()
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.PageSize(15)
...
)
)
Try to do paging operations on the server to keep away from including too much data in the HTML which might slow down page performance. To accomplish this, keep the ServerOperation of the DataSource to true (the default value).
You can change the available page sizes from which the user can choose with an array with integer values that are set to the PageSizes property.
Example
.Pageable(p=> {
p.PageSizes(new[] { 5, 10, 30 });
})
It is always recommended to use as small page sizes as possible, because rendering too many records causes performance issues especially when the Grid renders many columns or complex templates for its cells.
