See the test page and example project for info on how to use

http://nuget.org/packages/Mvc.JQuery.DataTables

The code here is based on code from http://code.google.com/p/datatables-asp-mvc/

Note to users

This library has been developed on an as-needed basis, so not all configuration settings from datatables are implemented yet. If you need a setting to be added, please fork the project, update the code, and update the example page to include a usage of the new setting (where this makes sense) e.g. https://github.com/mcintyre321/mvc.jquery.datatables/commit/c70f9c1f51178386e84a73ccea4495343f815012

If you have a feature request, bug, or a patch, please could you add an example page on a fork demonstrating the problem or feature. Thanks!

If you have found this project useful, please consider contributing some documentation - it's the biggest weakness!
