Pagination with a List Controller

You can add pagination to a page using a list controller by utilizing the next and previous actions. For example, if you create a page with the following markup:
By default, a list controller returns 20 records on the page. To control the number of records displayed on each page, use a controller extension to set the pageSize. For information on controller extensions, see Building a Controller Extension.

When you use pagination, an exception is thrown when there are modified rows in the collection. This includes any new rows added to the collection through an extension action. The handling of error messages in this case follows the standard behavior and can either be displayed upon the page. For example, you can use the <apex:pageMessages> or <apex:messages> component to display an error message to the user.
