Binding GridView from List<T> in ASP.Net

Introduction

I would like to share a way by which we can bind the Asp.net Gridview with a template type List.

Steps

1. Create a class and the defining properties

Sample Code

public class Emp
{
public string EMPNo { get; set; }
public string EmpName { get; set; }
}

2. Create a method with the return List of the Emp class

Code

public List<Emp> GetEmpList()

{

List<Emp> lstEmp = new List<Emp>();

Emp objEmp = new Emp();

objEmp.EMPNo = "23";

objEmp.EmpName = "DEVESH OMAR";

lstEmp.Add(objEmp);

objEmp = new Emp();

objEmp.EMPNo = "46";

objEmp.EmpName = "NIKHIL VATS";

lstEmp.Add(objEmp);

objEmp = new Emp();

objEmp.EMPNo = "37";

objEmp.EmpName = "KUMAR GAURAV";

lstEmp.Add(objEmp);

objEmp = new Emp();

objEmp.EMPNo = "36";

objEmp.EmpName = "RAM PRAKSSH";

lstEmp.Add(objEmp);

objEmp = new Emp();

objEmp.EMPNo = "56";

objEmp.EmpName = "VISHAL";

lstEmp.Add(objEmp);

objEmp = new Emp();

objEmp.EMPNo = "40";

objEmp.EmpName = "POOJA";

lstEmp.Add(objEmp);

return lstEmp;

}

A List of the Emp is a collection of objects of the Emp class.

We can create a list of the Emp using List<Emp> lstEmp = new List<Emp>();

Above return list of Emp objects

3. Creation of the ASPX page.

4. Adding a GrivewControl to the ASPX page

<asp:gridview id="EMPGRIDDATA" runat="server" backcolor="White" bordercolor="#E7E7FF"

borderstyle="None" borderwidth="1px" cellpadding="3" font-names="Calibri" font-size="Larger"

gridlines="Horizontal">
