Paging with WCF data service

Question

My question is about how you handle paging with a WCF data service. The way I want to use it, is execute a query (passing page size and current page), and get back the results o

Answer 1

Use Skip and Take to perform client side paging of data from the WCF data service, such as:

var items = (from i in ctx.MyEntities
             select i).Skip(StartIndex).Take(PageSize)

Where StartIndex is the beginning position of the data you want returned and PageSize is the number of elements max to return.
