LINQ and paging with a DataTable - can't get Skip working?
- by Kit Menke
Ok so this might be a dumb question, but I can't seem to figure it out. I thought I'd try out LINQ against a DataTable. I got my query working and now I'm trying to implement some simple paging.
DataTable dataTable = null;
dataTable = GetAllDataTables();
var query = from r in dataTable.AsEnumerable()
orderby r.Field<string>(Constants.fileName)
select r;
query.Skip(WPP_PAGE_SIZE * pageIndex).Take(WPP_PAGE_SIZE);
My problem is that I get an error at query.Skip(...).
Error 1 'System.Data.OrderedEnumerableRowCollection'
does not contain a definition for
'Skip' and no extension method 'Skip'
accepting a first argument of type
'System.Data.OrderedEnumerableRowCollection'
could be found (are you missing a
using directive or an assembly
reference?)
References I have:
Microsoft.SharePoint
System
System.Core
System.Data
System.Data.DataSetExtensions
System.Web
System.Xml
What am I missing?
