DataBinder.Eval takes the argument. The first arg is the data object to bind to. The second arg is the string name of the field which will display on the page.

BindData:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 if (!IsPostBack)
 {
Binddata();// this function is called when the page is loaded.
  
 }
}
    
public void Binddata()
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        
// Here data is fetched from the database through stored procedure(insert_reg)
 FormView1.DataSource = Class1. execute_spfill_grid ("insert_reg");
 FormView1.DataBind();
}

In above code execute_spfill_grid is a function created in Class1.cs which is described below.

Andinsert_reg is a stored procedure made in backend.This is described below

The FormView control raises the PageIndexChanging event when a pager button (a button with its CommandName property set to "Page") within the control is clicked. But before the DetailsView control handles the paging operation. This allows you to provide an event handler for paging operation.

protected void FormView1_PageIndexChanging(object sender, FormViewPageEventArgs e)
{
 FormView1.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
 Binddata();        
}

EditMode:

FormView has ModeChanging event by which you can change normal mode to edit mode .In ths event we can also cancel edit mode.

protected void FormView1_ModeChanging(object sender, FormViewModeEventArgs e)
{
 FormView1.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Edit);
 Binddata();
        
 if (e.CancelingEdit == true)
 {
Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
 }
}

ADD, UPDATE and Delete in FormView:

ItemCommand event is used for programmatically determining which specific command button is clicked and take appropriate action. Here this event is used for Adding data

protected void FormView1_ItemCommand(object sender,FormViewCommandEventArgse)
{
 if (e.CommandName == "ADD")
 {
// Here  FindControl will find the TextboxId in which adding will be done.
  
            TextBox l = FormView1.FindControl("TextBox3") as TextBox;
            string i = l.Text;
            TextBox a = FormView1.FindControl("TextBox4") as TextBox;
            string p = a.Text;
            TextBox b = FormView1.FindControl("TextBox5") as TextBox;
            string m = b.Text;
  
            Class1.updat_reg("add_reg", i, p, m);
            Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
Binddata();
 }
}

ItemUpdating event is used to update data 

protected void FormView1_ItemUpdating(object sender,FormViewUpdateEventArgse)
{
// Here  FindControl will find the TextboxId in which updating will be done.
  
TextBox l = FormView1.FindControl("txt1") as TextBox;
 string i = l.Text;
TextBox a = FormView1.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox;
 string p = a.Text;
TextBox b = FormView1.FindControl("TextBox2") as TextBox;
 string m = b.Text;
  
Class1.updat_reg("update_reg", i, p, m);
 Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
 Binddata();
}

ItemDeleting event is used to delete data. 

protected void FormView1_ItemDeleting(object sender,FormViewDeleteEventArgse)
{
Label l = FormView1.FindControl("lbl1") as Label;
 string i = l.Text;
Class1.delete_reg("del_reg", i);
 Binddata();
}

 Add both namespace in every .cs page in which you want to use data and SQL related keyword

using System.Data;

using System.Data.SqlClient;

Class1.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Web;
 
public class Class1
{
 
     // this function is used to bind data
     public static DataSet execute_spfill_grid(string spname)
    {
 
         SqlConnection con = Connection.CreateConnection();
 
         DataSet ds = new DataSet();
 
         SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
         cmd.CommandText = spname;
         cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
         cmd.Connection = con;
         con.Open();
         SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(spname,con);
         da.Fill(ds);
     
         return ds;
       
    }
 
 
     public static void update_reg_form(string spname, string id, string pass, string name) // this function is used to update data
    {
         SqlConnection con = Connection.CreateConnection();
        
         SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
         cmd.CommandText = spname;
         cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
         cmd.Parameters.Add("@id", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = id;
         cmd.Parameters.Add("@pass", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = pass;
         cmd.Parameters.Add("@name", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = name;
 
         cmd.Connection = con;
         con.Open();
        
         cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
         con.Close();
    }
 
     public static void ADD_reg_form(string spname, string id, string pass, string name)// this function is used to Add data
    {
         SqlConnection con = Connection.CreateConnection();
 
         SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
         cmd.CommandText = spname;
         cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
         cmd.Parameters.Add("@id", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = id;
         cmd.Parameters.Add("@pass", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = pass;
         cmd.Parameters.Add("@name", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = name;
 
         cmd.Connection = con;
         con.Open();
 
         cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
         con.Close();
    }
 
 
 
     public static void DEL_reg_form(string spname, string id)// this function is used to Delete data
    {
         SqlConnection con = Connection.CreateConnection();
         SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
         cmd.CommandText = spname;
         cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
         cmd.Parameters.Add("@id", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = id;       
         cmd.Connection = con;
         con.Open();
         cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
         con.Close();
    }
}

In class1.cs  Connection keyword is used . Connection is a class in whichCreateConnection function is created.

Connection.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
  
public class Connection
{ 
  
     public static SqlConnection CreateConnection()
    {
         string connectionstring;
         connectionstring = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["mycon"].ConnectionString;
         SqlConnection sqlcon = new SqlConnection(connectionstring);
         return sqlcon;
    }
    
}

mycon is connection object created in web.config

web.config:

<connectionStrings>
            <add name="mycon"connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=my; User Id=sa; Password=mindstick"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
      </connectionStrings>

Write this connection string above <system.web>
