Bind gridview to xml file or read xml data and populate gridview in asp.net c# using dataset

This asp.net example is about binding xml file to asp.net gridview using c# with dataset lets create an example to implement asp.net gridview binding to xml file using dataset
Step 1: First let’s create a website. So start visual studio – File Menu—New – Website –Name the website and click ok. Then Add an xml by right clicking on solution--AddNewItem--select XML FIle--Name it as UserDetails.xml Inside the UserDetails.xml file add some user details tags and markups as shown below 

 In the aspx designer page add the below code to add a gridview

Now lets create the code behind programming to bind gridview to an xml file This namespaces needs to be added to code behind .cs file

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;

        
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(!IsPostBack)
      {
        BindGridToXML();
      }
 }
private void BindGridToXML()
{
        using (DataSet ds = new DataSet())
        {
                ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/UserDetails.xml"));
                gvUserDetails.DataSource = ds;
                gvUserDetails.DataBind();
        }
}

protected void OnPageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
     gvUserDetails.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
      this.BindGridToXML();
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;

namespace XMLExamples
{
    public partial class GridViewExample : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                BindGridToXML();
            }
        }

        private void BindGridToXML()
        {
            using (DataSet ds = new DataSet())
            {
                ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/UserDetails.xml"));
                gvUserDetails.DataSource = ds;
                gvUserDetails.DataBind();
            }
        }

       protected void OnPageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
        {
            gvUserDetails.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
            this.BindGridToXML();
        }
    }
}
