                                                </ItemTemplate>

                                            </asp:Repeater>

<script type ="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

        $('#RepeaterRecord').prepend($("<thead></thead>").append($('#RepeaterRecord').dataTable({
            responsive: true,
            "paging": true,
            "bAutoWidth": false,
            "searching": true,
            "iDisplayLength": 5,
            "aLengthMenu": [[5, 10, 25, 50, -1], [5, 10, 25, 50, "All"]]

There are lots of ways of doing pagination but you haven't indicated if you want the pagination on the server, on the client, or a mix of both with ajax so it's impossible to give specific advice. Google "asp.net repeater pagination" and you'll find lots of examples. Go through some and see what ones work for you.

Best way in my opinion is to maken the paging from the controller so let asp.net handling this.

This is a nice (working) example Example asp.net mvc pagination[^]

Also if you really want to do this client sided than you can have a look at Angular I really love those features Angular example[^]

A Fiddle example with javascript: pagination example

I would definitely not running a pagination with jquery and hard coded paging lists. 5, 10, 25, 50, "All" is never going to change when there are more than 50 in your case. That makes the paging useless.

I don't really use Angular and can't seems to write a controller since i'm not using MVC although, i'm still a rookie. I have used dataTable with gridView but i used a table format. Since i am using a repeater and a div this time around, i need a new way round it
