Changes

• June 11, 2009 Troy Goode posts further tweaks to PagedList<T> code, adds Intellisense documentation, adds source to CodePlex, and creates a signed release binary available for download via CodePlex.
  • Eliminated extraneous call to .Skip(n) when n == 0. Reported by Craig Stuntz.
  • Removed constructor overload to PagedList<T> that accepted IQueryable<T>.
  • Removed protected Initialize method and moved code into only remaining constructor.
  • Optimized constructor to work for IEnumerable<T> or IQueryable<T>.
  • Moved property calculations for PageNumber, HasPreviousPage, HasNextPage, IsFirstPage, and IsLastPage from constructor to property getter. Given that these properties are not likely called in loops, the potential performance hit is likely made up for by the enhanced readability of the constructor code.
  • Removed overload of ToPagedList extension method that took IQueryable<T>.
  • Renamed Pagination static extensions methods class to PagedListExtensions.
  • Added test to verify that when there are two pages of 1 item each, the second page will contain the correct item (the test passed). Suggested by Matt Bertulli.
  • Moved code from System.Collections.Generics namespace to PagedList.
  • Created a solution just for PagedList related classes and signed the assembly using a private key generated just for PagedList.
  • Added XML documentation for all interfaces, classes, methods, and properties.
