[CLOSED] [Razor] Paging without Store Proxy

[machinableed]

I have a form panel which submits the form to a controller method via a direct event and loads the store for a grid panel

pn.Add(Html.X().FormPanel()
                    .Region(Region.North)
                    .Collapsible(true)
                    .Title("Enter Search Criteria")
                    .BodyPadding(4)
                    .Layout(LayoutType.Column)
                    .MaxHeight(600)
                    .ID("pnlSearchForm")
                    .Buttons(buttons =>
                    {
buttons.Add(Html.X().Button()
                            .DirectEvents(directEvents =>
                            {
                                directEvents.Click.ExtraParams.Add(new Parameter("start","0", ParameterMode.Raw));
                                directEvents.Click.ExtraParams.Add(new Parameter("limit", "30", ParameterMode.Raw));
                                directEvents.Click.Url = "/Services/Search";
                                directEvents.Click.Success = "#{store1}.loadData(result.extraParamsResponse.data); #{pnlSearchForm}.collapse(true)";
                            })
                            .Text("Search"));
                   }

The controller method (/Services/Search) basically returns an AjaxResult as follows as I was told StoreResult would not work in this case:

AjaxResult r = new AjaxResult()
            {
                ExtraParamsResponse =
                {
                    new Parameter()
                    {
                        Name = "data",
                        Value = JSON.Serialize(gridResults),
                        Mode = ParameterMode.Raw
                    }
                }
            };

            return r;

My issue is that I now need to add paging to the gridpanel and when I add a paging toolbar to the gridpanel it doesn't appear. I suspect this is because the AjaxResult I'm returning and loading directly into the store has no idea what the total count is and/or there is other data that the store expects for paging that are not available? How can I go about paging in my case?
