The PagedDataSource class wraps a System.Collections.ICollection data source to implement "paged views" using the best available interface to enumerate over the data. This class uses indexed access if it is available (as in classes derived from System.Array or implementing System.Collections.IList) or the System.Collections.IEnumerable interface if indexed access is not available.

This class is used internally by the DataGrid control to provide its paging abilities. It is not used in your code unless you develop a data-bound control that supports paging.
