Getting Started with the .NET MAUI DataPager

This guide provides the information you need to start using the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI DataPager by adding the control to your project.

At the end, you will achieve the following result.

Prerequisites

Before adding the DataPager, you need to:

1. Set up your .NET MAUI application.

2. Download Telerik UI for .NET MAUI.

3. Install Telerik UI for .NET MAUI.

Define the Control

1. When your .NET MAUI application is set up, you are ready to add a DataPager control to your page.

• XAML
• C#

<telerik:RadDataPager x:Name="dataPager"/>

var pager = new RadDataPager();

2. Add the telerik namespace:

• XAML
• C#

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"

using Telerik.Maui.Controls;

3. Register the Telerik controls through the Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.UseTelerik extension method called inside the CreateMauiApp method of the MauiProgram.cs file of your project:

• C#

using Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility;

public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseTelerik()
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
            });

        return builder.Build();
    }
}

Add Source

To visualize the pages, bind a collection to the Source property of the DataPager control.

1. Define the DataPager in XAML or C#:

• XAML
• C#

<telerik:RadDataPager x:Name="dataPager" Source="{Binding Data}" />

var pager = new RadDataPager();

2. Define the ViewModel:

• C#

public class ViewModel
{
    public ViewModel()
    {
        Data = CreateData(200);
    }

    public List<int> Data { get; set; }

    internal static List<int> CreateData(int count)
    {
        List<int> source = new List<int>();

        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
        {
            source.Add(i);
        }

        return source;
    }
}

3. Set the ViewModel as a BindingContext:

• C#

this.BindingContext = new ViewModel();

For the DataPager Getting Started example, go to the SDKBrowser Demo Application and navigate to the DataPager > Getting Started category.
