Great. Since you only asked me about the DataPager I only gave you that part. To be clear, IPagedCollectionView is used by the DataPager to page your collection. ICollectionView is used by the control that displays the collection. They are technically two different things.
 
Alternatively, you can simply expose the current page as a property of your class and then bind the control to it. ICollectionView gives you the notion of a current record. You may not need that, or you could implement that in the view model. It's a lot simpler than implementing all the members of ICollectionView.

Good!

I was studying exactly this, I'll try. 

Thank you.

Sorry, I only gave you half the information. Your class also has to implement ICollectionView.

Marcel,

There is something not so clear to me. My class will be just a implementation of IPagedCollectionView, so I won't have a list of results, just couple properties and methods redirecting to the related in IPager. Where will I use page.Results (from Page<T>) in my class?

Yes, that's correct. Your class will translate calls to IPagedCollectionView members to the corresponding member on the nested IPager<T>. It's a straight forward adapter as the two interfaces are very similar.

You mean that I have to create a class implementing IPagedCollectionView, and the IPager<T> must be used inside this class to create my collection. 

    public class PagedItems<T> : IPagedCollectionView
    {
        private IPager<T> _pager;
        ...
        // IPagedCollectionView members ...
    }

Is this it?

Yes, it is. You simply write your own IPageCollectionView adapter to wrap the IPager<T> you get from the PagerRepository.

Is it possible to use PagerRepository with a DataPager?

Thanks.
