Using the DomainDataSource to page through data
We can easily implement paging behavior using the DomainDataSource. Paging is important for two reasons: we typically don't want to have a list of hundreds of detail lines on one screen because this severely limits the user experience and slows down our application. Besides that, paging makes sure that we can fetch parts of data from our server instead of fetching everything at once. This makes sure that bandwidth use is limited and again makes working with the application faster and more user friendly. This recipe will show you how to do it.
