paging helper asp.net mvc
- by csetzkorn
Hi,
I have implemented a paging html helper (adapted from steven sanderson's book). This is the current code:
public static string PageLinks(this HtmlHelper html, int currentPage, int totalPages, Func pageUrl)
{
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 1; i <= totalPages; i++)
{
TagBuilder tag = new TagBuilder("a");
tag.MergeAttribute("href", pageUrl(i));
tag.InnerHtml = i.ToString();
if (i == currentPage)
tag.AddCssClass("selectedPage");
result.AppendLine(tag.ToString());
}
return result.ToString();
}
This produces a bunch of links to each page of my items. If there are many pages this can be a bit overwhelming. I am looking for a similar implementation which produces something less overwhelming like this:
where 6 is the current page. I am sure someone must have implemented something similar ... before I have to re-implement the wheel.
Thanks.
Christian
