GridView – Rich Data Control – This is a highly flexible Grid Control used to render data as tables through rows and columns. It offers many extraordinary features including selection, paging, sorting, and editing of displayed records. Additionally, its functionality can be extended using templates with the GridView Control.
The key feature of the GridView Control, compared to the DataGrid Control, is that it can be used without writing any program logic code. It can render stored data from the underlying database or any other collection effortlessly. With the GridView Control, common tasks like paging and selection don't require writing any code, unlike the DataGrid Control where event handlers need to be created for these tasks. This is why GridView is very popular in the developer community.
In this ASP.NET post, we describe how to perform insert, update, and delete operations using GridView in ASP.NET with ADO.NET. This post is especially for beginners who want to learn coding step by step.
In this tutorial, we will create a GridView in which we perform insert, update, delete, and edit operations. I want to enable the deletion of records from GridView by clicking on the delete button, but I also want to show an alert message 'Are you sure you want to delete?' to achieve all these tasks using GridView.
To start with GridView operations, we need a database. Therefore, I have created a database table named 'Teachers' with columns: Id, Name, and Salary.
Table Script
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Teachers](
[Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Name] [nvarchar](150) NULL,
[Address] [nvarchar](500) NULL,
[Salary] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Employee_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[Id] ASC
)
) ON [PRIMARY]Step 1-Now Let’s Start,Open Visual studio and add empty website.
Step2-Now add a gridview to the page
Step 3-Right-click on gridview and then click on gridview property and double click on the following event of gridview. We will perform an operation on those events.
Step 4 –Some gridview view event which are very useful.
1) OnRowCancelingEdit: The RowCancelingEdit event occurs when the Cancel button of a row in edit mode is clicked.
2) OnRowEditing: The RowEditing event is fired when a row's Edit button is clicked, but before the GridView control enters edit mode.
3) OnRowUpdating: The RowUpdating event is fired when a row's Update button is clicked, but before the GridView control updates the row.
4) OnRowDeleting: The RowDeleting event is fired when a row's Delete button is clicked, but before the GridView control deletes the row.
5) OnRowCommand: The RowCommand event is fired when a button is clicked in the GridView control.
Now event are created on codebehind of page.Now aspx page should be like this:-
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Index.aspx.cs" Inherits="Index" %>
<!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 ID="GridView1" runat="server" OnRowCancelingEdit="GridView1_RowCancelingEdit" OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand" OnRowDeleting="GridView1_RowDeleting" OnRowEditing="GridView1_RowEditing" OnRowUpdating="GridView1_RowUpdating">
</asp:GridView>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Code Behind:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
public partial class Index : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void GridView1_RowCancelingEdit(object sender, GridViewCancelEditEventArgs e)
{
}
protected void GridView1_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{
}
protected void GridView1_RowDeleting(object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
{
}
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
}
protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
}
}Now paste the following code between gridview view tag.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Index.aspx.cs" Inherits="Index" %>

Eval function is used to bind data from database to controls inside DataBound controls like GridView, Repeater, etc.
Now Gridview should look like this
Now paste the below code for operation on the event of gridview.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;

BindDataGridView();
}
}IsPostBack is a property of the Asp.Net page that checks whether the page is loaded first time
or it is loaded due to button on page.Now run your code and perform gridview operation.
Page Load:
- It checks whether the page is loaded for the first time or due to a postback. If it's the first time, it calls the BindDataGridView method to populate the GridView with data from the "Teachers" table.
BindDataGridView Method:
- This method retrieves data from the "Teachers" table using a SQL query and populates a DataSet with the results.
- If there are records in the DataSet, it binds the data to the GridView (GridView1).
- If no records are found, it adds a new row to the DataSet to display a message ("No Records Found") in the GridView.
GridView Events:
- GridView1_RowCancelingEdit: Cancels editing mode for the GridView.
- GridView1_RowEditing: Puts the GridView in editing mode for the selected row.
- GridView1_RowDeleting: Deletes a record from the database based on the selected row in the GridView.
- GridView1_RowCommand: Handles commands such as adding new records to the GridView.
- GridView1_RowUpdating: Updates a record in the database based on the edited values in the GridView.
Database Operations:
- Database connections are opened and closed as needed.
- SQL queries are executed to perform CRUD operations on the "Teachers" table.
User Interaction:
- JavaScript alerts are used to provide feedback to the user after certain actions, such as successful deletion or insertion of records.
Above code demonstrates how to create a basic CRUD functionality using ASP.NET Web Forms and interact with a SQL Server database to perform data manipulation operations.
