Pagination Query in Sql server

I was asked a question or a series of questions, "How would you do paging in a SQL? How would you do this with a lot of records, say, 10,000 or more?"

I thought about answers. To be more precise, I thought of more questions and this got me thinking, "This must be a common problem, every developer must have done or solved this. What about paging sizes and working with very large data sets? What about getting results from multiple tables?"

So, I decided to look into these questions and found the queries that works in different versions of sql server

Pagination in sql server 2000

declare @pageNumber int,@pageSize int
set @pageNumber=2
set @pageSize=10

SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT TOP (@pageSize) * FROM
    (
        SELECT TOP (@pageNumber * @pageSize) *
        FROM Citymaster
        ORDER BY CityID ASC
    ) AS t1
    ORDER BY CityID DESC
) AS t2
ORDER BY CityID ASC

Pagination in sql server 2005

Option- 1

declare @pageNumber int,@pageSize int
set @pageNumber=2
set @pageSize=10

;WITH results AS (
    SELECT
        rowNo = ROW_NUMBER() OVER( ORDER BY Cityid ASC )
        , *
    FROM Citymaster
)
SELECT *
FROM results
WHERE rowNo between (@pageNumber-1)*@pageSize+1 and @pageNumber*@pageSize

Option- 2

declare @pageNumber int,@pageSize int
set @pageNumber=2
set @pageSize=10

SELECT *
FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Cityid) RowNr, * FROM Citymaster) t
WHERE RowNr BETWEEN ((@pageNumber-1)*@pageSize) AND (@pageNumber*@pageSize)

C# Extension Methods Example

In this article i am going to explain about Extension Methods  with example. Extension methods enable you to "add" methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. Extension methods are a special kind of static method, but they are called as if they were instance methods on the extended type. For client code written in C# and Visual Basic, there is no apparent difference between calling an extension method and the methods that are actually defined in a type. If you do implement extension methods for a given type, remember the following points: An extension method will never be called if it has the same signature as a method defined in the type. Extension methods are brought into scope at the namespace level. For example, if you have multiple static classes that contain extension methods in a single namespace named Extensions, they will all be brought into scope by the using Extensions; directive. ...
