Dynamically bind GridView in ASP.NET(using Entity Framework)

This article shows how to bind gridview using Entity Framework in ASP.NET web application. Follow these below steps:

Step-1: Create Table

First create a table "dbo.Tbl_Student" in database.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Tbl_Student] (
    [Student_Id]      INT           IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
    [Student_Name]    VARCHAR (50)  NULL,
    [Student_Age]     INT           NULL,
    [Student_Address] VARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Student_Id] ASC)
);

Step-2: Create a new ASP.Net web application

Now create the one sample application "Demo_Asp_DotNet" as:


  1. "Start" - "All Programs" - "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010".
  2. "File" - "New Project" - "C#" - "Empty Web Application" (to avoid adding a master page).
  3. Provide the web site a name such as  "Demo_Asp_DotNet" or another as you wish and specify the location.
  4. Then right-click on Solution Explorer - "Add New Item" - "bIND_GRIDVIEW.aspx page".
  5. Drag and drop required controls on the <form> section of the bIND_GRIDVIEW.aspx page.

Step-3: Add Entity Data Model in Solution


Then add entity data model in model folder.



Step-4: Write Code in Design Page


Write this below code in "bIND_GRIDVIEW.aspx" design page.


<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
         <asp:gridview runat="server" ID="gv_bind" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#3366CC" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="4" Width="100%">
             <Columns>
                 <asp:BoundField DataField="Student_Id" HeaderText="Student Id" />
                 <asp:BoundField DataField="Student_Name" HeaderText="Student_Name" />
                 <asp:BoundField DataField="Student_Age" HeaderText="Student_Age" />
                 <asp:BoundField DataField="Student_Address" HeaderText="Student_Address" />
             </Columns>
             <FooterStyle BackColor="#99CCCC" ForeColor="#003399" />
             <HeaderStyle BackColor="#003399" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#CCCCFF" />
             <PagerStyle BackColor="#99CCCC" ForeColor="#003399" HorizontalAlign="Left" />
             <RowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#003399" />
             <SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#009999" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#CCFF99" />
             <SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#EDF6F6" />
             <SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#0D4AC4" />
             <SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#D6DFDF" />
             <SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#002876" />
         </asp:gridview>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Step-5:Write Code in .cs page or Back-end Page

Write this below code in "bIND_GRIDVIEW.aspx.cs" page.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using Demo_Asp_DotNet.Models;
namespace Demo_Asp_DotNet
{
    public partial class bIND_GRIDVIEW : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        Database1Entities ob = new Database1Entities();
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if(!IsPostBack)
            {
                var a = (from ab in ob.Tbl_Student
                            select ab).ToList();
                gv_bind.DataSource = a;
                gv_bind.DataBind();
            }
        }
    }
}
