Adding Pagination to Your DataGrid

The Paginator is a control that presents a list of page numbers, and a previous and next button, to let the user "scroll" the data a page at a time. It gives a limited view into a potentially very large data set.

In order to enable pagination, we need to define a Paginator object and assign it to the DataGrid. The DataGrid will render the paginator inside a caption tag in the table, and therefore, we will set the DataGridw as the Paginator's parent in the Paginator constructor call.

In the locally defined dtgPersons_Bind method, in addition to setting the datagrid's DataSource, we also give the datagrid the TotalItemCount (via a Person::countAll() call). And finally, when we make the Person::loadAll() call, we make sure to pass in the datagrid's LimitClause, which will pass the paging information into our loadAll() call to only retrieve the items on the page we are currently viewing.
