Paging with large dataset- Linq2Sql, Repeater

Question

I know such questions are in tonns on SO, but my question is little bit different. Generally , i found in SO, Custom Paging using Linq2Sql/ Sql. No I am not asking the same, i am done with that, my issue is with the pages(data pager) displayed on my asp.net page. In my table i have around 640 rows which will grow in future to thousands and even 10 thousands and more.

what i did:

1. For implementing the custom paging, i followed Mikes this article and successfully implemented the custom paging on my records. I have a repeater on page and i am bind the data using Take and Skip as directed by Mike.

2. After implementing the paging, i found that its creating 10 records per page so in that case I got 64 pages displayed in my pager, which seems awkward. Its something like this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 upto 64, killing my page css and ui. Also it is not good , as user point of view. So

What I want is that:

I need SO User section like Pager... see here
