From time to time, it is nice to store complex objects or lists as JSON in the database. With Entity Framework 8, this is now easily possible. But this was possible all along with Entity Framework 7.
Pagination is the process of dividing a set into discrete pages. In the context of Entity Framework, that means we are only getting a certain amount of entries from the database.
And we will implement a very easy solution to make that happen in 3 steps. The result will look like this:
var pagedList = DbContext.BlogPosts.ToPagedList(page: 1, pageSize: 5);
Sometimes you have an Id of an object and want to delete the underlying thing from the database. But it doesn't make sense to load the whole object from the database to memory first. So how can we achieve this quickly?
