Now that we have discussed paging and sorting let's talk about getting the experience a little better for your user. Our first step is to add to the paging solution so that the DataProvider looks ahead when the user is approaching the end of a page. After that we'll improve the performance of the DataGrid by turning off the "live scrolling" so that the DataGrid doesn't try to update as the user is navigating. Finally we'll build on that DataGrid to provide context information to the user so they can navigate more accurately. The examples can be found here and are a superset of what we did in articles 1 and 2.
