As two parameters i say currentPage and pagesize .....I thus far used sql server stored procedures and implemented paging like this,

GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetMaterialsInView]
    -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
    @CurrentPage INT,
    @PageSize INT
AS
BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

     SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) AS Row FROM    
     (
     SELECT
      *,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) AS Row
      FROM InTimePagingView
     ) AS InTimePages
    WHERE  Row >= (@CurrentPage - 1) * @PageSize + 1 AND Row <= @CurrentPage*@PageSize

    SELECT COUNT(*) as TotalCount FROM InTimePagingView

    SELECT  CEILING(COUNT(*) / CAST(@PageSize AS FLOAT)) NumberOfPages
     FROM  InTimePagingView

END

Now i am using Linq-to-sql and i use this,

public IQueryable<MaterialsObj> FindAllMaterials()
        {
           var materials =  from m in db.Materials
                   join Mt in db.MeasurementTypes on m.MeasurementTypeId equals Mt.Id
                   where m.Is_Deleted == 0
                   select new MaterialsObj()
                   {
                       Id = Convert.ToInt64(m.Mat_id),
                       Mat_Name = m.Mat_Name,
                       Mes_Name = Mt.Name,
                   };
            return materials;

        }

Now i want to return the records,TotalCount where i use Total count to generate pagenumbers..... Is this possible... Any suggestion...

EDIT:

Just found this...

NorthWindDataContext db = new NorthWindDataContext();

var query = from c in db.Customers
            select c.CompanyName;

//Assuming Page Number = 2, Page Size = 10
int iPageNum = 2;
int iPageSize = 10;

var PagedData = query.Skip((iPageNum - 1) * iPageSize).Take(iPageSize);

ObjectDumper.Write(PagedData);
