To be honest I can't remember why I put it inside an Ajax.BeginForm. I think I used the Ajax.BeginForm to actually wrap the Ajax functionality so I wouldn't have to handle the click event manually using jQuery or something. Otherwise, when the user clicks on the actionlink, it would end up making a regular HTTP POST and it wouldn't be AJAX. When I get some more time I'll throw up an example of how I did this on GitHub so you can take a look at it. When I do that I'll probably make a new post about it being there, so be on the lookout.

What is the point of having the ajax call in a Ajax.Beginform? When is the form supposed to be submitted? What I can see it is the actionslinks in the pager that calls the controller action…?

I see... Thats where I should get the data I want to display from my db. Im rather new to ajax in general so I dont really get the connection how the query object can reference the ToPagedList() method, which is in the PagedListExtensions class...? Perhaps I just need to read more about ajax. I would be really happy to have a sample/demo source (if possible) to see things more clearly. Thanks again! //David Thanks for your reply!

This is completely up to you, however, which is why I left it out. Also, the logic from GetSearchQuery is left out as well, because that's implementation specific. For the first project I worked on, that returned utilized IQueryable and LINQ 2 SQL, but I've had others that use various other things just as NHibernate, Entity Framework, etc. In my implementation, DefaultPageSize is just a constant I have, and CachedPage is a property that’s hitting a stored session value.

Where is DefaulPagerSize and CachedPage declared (session?)? What/where is the logic of the method GetSearchQuery(); ? Thanks //david hi,
