Overview of this book

To build a rich internet application, you need to integrate a powerful client side JavaScript framework with a server side framework. Ext.NET achieves this by integrating Sencha's Ext JS framework with the power of ASP.NET. The result ñ a sophisticated framework offering a vast array of controls, layout, and powerful AJAX and server bindings, which can be used to build rich, highly usable web applications. "Ext.NET Web Application Development" shows you how to build rich applications using Ext.NET. Examples guide you through Ext.NET's various components using both ASP.NET Web Forms and MVC examples. You will also see how Ext.NET handles data binding and server integration. You will also learn how to create reusable components and put them together in great looking applications. This book guides you through the various Ext.NET components and capabilities to enable you to create highly usable Ext.NET components and web applications. You will learn about various UI components and numerous layout options through examples. You will see how the AJAX architecture enables you to create powerful data-oriented applications easily. This book will also teach you how to create reusable custom components to suit your needs. "Ext.NET Web Application Development" shows you how to create rich and usable applications using Ext.NET through numerous examples.

Paging


To show paging controls we reuse a PagingToolbar, as demonstrated in Chapter 5, Working with Data.

Client-side paging

To enable client-side paging, we just need to do two things. We add a PagingToolbar to the GridPanel. Because a GridPanel inherits a Panel, we just add it either to a docked item, or to one of the special properties such as BottomBar, TopBar, and so on. BottomBar is usually the typical option, so we add it to the GridPanel as follows:

<BottomBar>
    <ext:PagingToolbar runat="server" />
</BottomBar>

Next we simply need to initialize the Store with paging as follows:

<ext:Store runat="server" RemotePaging="false" PageSize="10">

The result will be a paging toolbar at the bottom, as shown in the following screenshot:

If you are using a remote proxy such as the AjaxProxy shown earlier but with client-side paging, you need to set RemotePaging to "false" explicitly. Otherwise it will default to server-side paging. If you are using one of the client-side...
