How to do pagination in SQL Server 2008

You can try something like

DECLARE @Table TABLE(
        Val VARCHAR(50)
)

DECLARE @PageSize INT,
        @Page INT

SELECT  @PageSize = 10,
        @Page = 2

;WITH PageNumbers AS(
        SELECT Val,
                ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Val) ID
        FROM    @Table
)
SELECT  *
FROM    PageNumbers
WHERE   ID  BETWEEN ((@Page - 1) * @PageSize + 1)
        AND (@Page * @PageSize)

You can use ROW_NUMBER():

Returns the sequential number of a row within a partition of a result set, starting at 1 for the first row in each partition.

Example:

WITH CTEResults AS
(
    SELECT IDColumn, SomeField, DateField, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY DateField) AS RowNum
    FROM MyTable
)

SELECT * 
FROM CTEResults
WHERE RowNum BETWEEN 10 AND 20;
