DataGridview Paging Using BindingSource And BindingNavigator In C#

Hello,

VB.NET Version Here: DataGridview Paging Using BindingSource And BindingNavigator In VB.NET

Here's a simple way to integrate paging in Datagridview using BindingNavigator and BindingSource. The original source can be found here: How can we do paging in datagridview in winform. I made some modifications to simulate loading of thousands of records from a database.

Main Form Class:

public partial class FBinding : Form  
{  
 public static int totalRecords { get; set; }  
 public const int pageSize = 10;  
 private List<string> sourceData = new List<string>();  
 private DataTable dtSource = new DataTable();        
 public FBinding()  
 {  
   InitializeComponent();  
   bindingNav.BindingSource = bindingWebsite;  
   bindingWebsite.CurrentChanged += new EventHandler(bindingWebsite_CurrentChanged);  
   SetSource();  
   bindingWebsite.DataSource = new PageOffsetList();  
 }  
 void bindingWebsite_CurrentChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)  
 {  
   // The desired page has changed, so fetch the page of records using the "Current" offset   
   int offset = (int)bindingWebsite.Current;  
   var records = new List<Record>();  
   for (int i = offset; i < offset + pageSize && i < totalRecords; i++)  
   {  
  try  
  {  
    records.Add(new Record() { Website = sourceData[i].ToString() });  
  }  
  catch (Exception ex)  
  {  
  }  
   }  
   dgWebsites.DataSource = records;  
 }  
 private void SetSource()  
 {  
   string sql = string.Format("select trim(website), url from tblwebsite order by trim(website) asc;");  
   MySqlConnection conn = null;  
   try  
   {  
  string connection = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AdminWebsite"].ToString();  
  conn = new MySqlConnection(connection);  
  conn.Open();  
  MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(sql, conn);  
  MySqlDataAdapter da = new MySqlDataAdapter(cmd);  
  da.Fill(dtSource);  
  if (dtSource.Rows.Count > 0)  
  {  
    //totalRecords = dtSource.Rows.Count;  
    foreach (DataRow item in dtSource.Rows)  
    {  
   if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(item[0].ToString()) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(item[1].ToString()))  
   {  
     sourceData.Add(item[0].ToString() + ", " + item[1].ToString());  
   }  
    }  
  }  
  totalRecords = sourceData.Count;  
  conn.Close();  
   }  
   catch (Exception e)  
   {  
  conn.Close();  
  conn.Dispose();  
   }  
 }  
 private void FBinding_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
 { }  
}  

Here's the classes used in Databinding:

public class Record   
{   
    public string Website { get; set; }   
}  

Paging class:

public class PageOffsetList : IListSource   
   {   
    public bool ContainsListCollection    
    {    
     get;    
     protected set;   
    }   
    private int TotalRecords = 0;   
    private int pageSize = 0;   
    public PageOffsetList(int pageSize, int total)   
    {   
     this.TotalRecords = total;   
     this.pageSize = pageSize;   
    }   
    public System.Collections.IList GetList()   
    {      
     // Return a list of page offsets based on "totalRecords" and "pageSize"   
     var pageOffsets = new List<int>();   
     for (int offset = 0; offset <= TotalRecords; offset = offset + pageSize)   
     {   
      pageOffsets.Add(offset);   
     }   
     return pageOffsets;   
    }   
   }   

Here's the result of the program:

I also segregated the classes in my application to simplify the approach.The source code is available for download at Github.
