MVC Scaffolding - Quick and Easy way to implement Paging? - asp.net-mvc-4

I am developing an ASP.NET MVC 4 application using MVC scaffolding.
Currently it returns all rows in a single fetch and displays them in the grid. However, I want to implement paging within the same so that it doesn't create any problem when the data are in large volume.
Any idea of how can we implement paging quick and easy way in MVC 4?

This link helped me to find out the proper way for paging, sorting and filtering.

ASP.NET MVC 5 simple login

I need simple log in functionality in my project (logged in users can access and modify their profile). I've read a book "PRO ASP.NET MVC 5" by Adam Freeman where he quickly written a simple, short and elegant login mechanism just by using authorization and authentication filters and extending from some built-in classes. However, I just checked the internet and found many completely opposite approaches using classes such as Identity and Claim and achieved by writing LOTS of code, i.e. this or this.
Is it really necessary to implement a huge framework and write many lines of code just for a simple log in approach with some security? Is it really that bad to rely on authentication and authorization filters?
Yes, I am planning on publishing my project, but it's really very small.
What would be the best and the most beneficial practice for creating a basic log in functionality?
when you create asp.net mvc 5 webapp you will find asp.net-identity already exist you just have to make simple changes in the user to link it to your other entites

is an ajax call after rendering an mvc view duplication

I'm going to be developing a new system and am toying with the idea of either creating a single page application or a full asp.net mvc website.
I want to utilise knockout so if I went down the mvc route i'd need to load my mvc view and on document ready then make the ajax call to bind to my knockout view model.
Is this a bad approach as i'm effectively making 2 calls to get one page?
Depends really on your exact page design and behavior.
But generally MVC and knockout do not require you to get the data via ajax, you can populate your data from the server then manually apply bindings to your observables.
saving the data could be done via ajax.
Of course its all theory now, you need to see your screen designs and check which way to go.

MVC 4 ASP.NET 4.5 dynamic form builder options?

I have developed custom form builder type application using ASP.NET 3 years back. Now working on new project and it has similar requirement. I think there must be something new and easy to do same thing using MVC4 or ASP.NET 4.5 web forms. Any pointers?
Requirement in detail,
This is a web application
Authorised users login to web site and given the option to fill in the form
This form captures the information which then sent to third party
Third party keep reviewing their system and may ask for more details in future
My application needs modification to capture this extra(or say changing) information
Is there any way I can change only DB model to accommodate these extra fields and they will automatically appear on form without any code changes to UI or BL level?
I am not too sure what you are trying to accomplish but maybe this could help ?

Look at how they automatically generate the bootstrap views depending on which view model get's passed.

Server side validation in Asp.net MVC4

I am trying to build a website using ASP.Net MVC, where in I need to dynamically display N number of controls of different kind, and validate them.
