Solved: Pageing in a data reader

Hello i have a dynamic table that i created in my VB.net web application and the data reader works but the data is massive. i wanted to know if there is a way that i can page my data so maybe 300 records on each page number

CODE EXAMPLE
    ' builds the list for finaid
    ' builds the refund codes for the drop list
    Public Sub Build_FinAid()

        ' clears the table after postback
        _control(3).Controls.Clear()
        '''''''''''''' Add itesm to SQl server for faster runtime preformance
        Dim sql As New SqlCommand
        Dim conn As SqlConnection
        Dim dr As SqlDataReader
        Dim ORC As New Connect
        ''''''''''''''' Varables for detail codes''''''''''
        Dim DetailCode As String
        Dim Valid As String
        Dim ControlDy As New Dynamic
        Dim Sid As Integer
        ''''''''''''''' End varabe chunk''''''''''''''''''

        ' call the first sql setup
        conn = ORC.NewSQLConnectionWebAppT()
        sql.Connection = conn


        ''''''''''
        ''''''' ' Update the database and diaplay results to the ened user
        '''''''''
        t = New Table
        t.Width = Unit.Percentage(100)

        ' creates the table for the diplay 
        r = New TableRow
        r.VerticalAlign = VerticalAlign.Top
        r.CssClass = "StandardRowHeader"
        c = New TableHeaderCell
