Create paging in HTML table

Question

I have Html code that generates a table that contains a lot of records.

Here is the code:

 @model IEnumerable<UserContact>
    @{
        ViewBag.Title = "Contacts:";
    }
    <h2>
        Contacts</h2>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayText("First Name")
            </th>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayText("First Name")
            </th>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayText("Email")
            </th>
            <th>
            </th>
        </tr>
        @foreach (var item in Model)
        {
            <tr>
                <td>
                    @Html.CheckBox("misha", new { onclick = "this.form.submit();" })
                </td>
                <td>
                    @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.firstName)
                </td>
                <td>
                    @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.lastName)
                </td>
                <td>
                    @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.email)
                </td>
            </tr>
        }
    </table>

This code is contained in razor partial view page.

My question is how can I create paging in table that described above?

Your Partial View :-

@model IEnumerable<UserContact>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Contacts:";
}
<h2>
    Contacts</h2>
<table id="mydatatable">
  <thead>
    <tr>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayText("First Name")
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayText("First Name")
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayText("Email")
        </th>
        <th>
        </th>
    </tr>
  <thead>

    <tbody>
    @foreach (var item in Model)
    {
        <tr>
            <td>
                @Html.CheckBox("misha", new { onclick = "this.form.submit();" })
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.firstName)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.lastName)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.email)
            </td>
        </tr>
    }
   <tbody>
</table>

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#mydatatable').dataTable();
    });
</script>

Last but not the least don't forget to add references of required jquery files on your page.
