Jeff, Thanks for your reply.
I assume that by "paging from client to server" you mean that the client gets results fragment by fragment, based on the visible data. For example, if my datagrid shows 8 rows and my paging is set to 5 rows, the datagrid will only get the first two packages of data. In this example 10 rows. When scrolling down by one row at a time, the client retrieves the next package as soon as we reach the 11th row. Correct? Given the current FSD implementation and your suggestion to implement server-side pagination using a fill parameter, the implementation using FDS will probably the same as the implementation you would code for RemoteObjects. Why not use RemoteObjects instaed of FDS?
