How do I add paging to the first line of Index.cshtml

@model IEnumerable<PagingExample.Models.Table1>

using PagedList;
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        private testContext db = new testContext();
        public List<Table1> thistable = new List<Table1>();
        public ActionResult Index(int? page)
        {
            thistable = db.Data1.ToList();
            int pageSize = 3;
            int pageNumber = (page ?? 1);
            return View(thistable.ToPagedList(pageNumber, pageSize));
        }
    }
