Create an empty paged list about mvcpaging HOT 6 OPEN

Sure, it's possible. Just curious: in what situations do you need an empty list?

from mvcpaging.

F.ex when i want to return an empty search result. Sometimes i can already determine that a search is not going to yield any results without firing a query.

Or, f.ex. as a default values on my models. I always want my objects to be in a valid state, which means that in the default constructor i want to set my collection properties to an empty collection.

Alright, clear

Just looking at it, but I think it doesn't make any sense to create an empty constructor, because we'll have to assume some pagesize. Probably better to just use one of the existing constructors:

var emptyList = new PagedList<SomeType>(null, 0, 1);

The idea is not to create a mutable pagedlist, rather an immutable one
which indicates no results.
