To create DataGridView first of all we need to insert DataGridView tool from
toolbox.
Now, once the DataGrid is inserted we need to display data in it. To display data we
need to set its data source data table.
Example
try
{
string strConnection= "Server=abc\\SQLEXPRESs;Database=Employee;Trusted_Connection=True";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnection);
con.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from employee", con);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds, "Employee");
DataTable dt = ds.Tables["Employee"];
dgRecord.DataSource= dt;
//setting datasource of datagrid to a table of database ‘employee’
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

13-Feb-2012You can bind columns initially by getting column names in DataTable. If you get whole data in DataTable and bind to datagridview, then it will display whole data present in DataTable. So in order to display columns initially:
1) First get column names by using select query and bind to DataTable.
2) Bind DataTable with datagridview.
Thanks.
