See the following screen; select "MySQL Wamp Server database" > "customers data".

MySQL Wamp Server database

Create a new project using "File" -> "New" -> "Project..." then select web "ASP .Net Web Forms Application". Name it "GridViewBindMySql".

Create a new project

Now in the Design page “Default.aspx” design the web page as in the following screen:

Design page

In the code behind file (Default.aspx.cs) write the code as:

Default.aspx.cs

  1. <%@ Page Title="Home Page" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="GridViewBindMySql._Default" %>  
  2. <asp:Content runat="server" ID="FeaturedContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="FeaturedContent">  
  3.     <section class="featured">  
  4.         <div class="content-wrapper">  
  5.             <hgroup class="title">                 
  6.                 <h2>Bind Data from MySql to GridView using DataSet and MySqlDataAdapter in Asp .NET 4.5  
  7.                 </h2>  
  8.             </hgroup>  
  9.             <p>  
  10.                 To learn more about ASP.NET 4.5 ,  
  11.             </p>  
  12.         </div>  
  13.     </section>  
  14. </asp:Content>  
  15. <asp:Content runat="server" ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">  
  16.     <h3>We suggest the following:</h3>  
  17.     <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Width="100%" ScrollBars="Horizontal">  
  18.     <p>  
  19.        <asp:Button ID="btnBind" runat="server" Text="View" OnClick="btnBind_Click" /> <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="Green"  Text="Total Customers:">    </asp:Label><asp:Label ID="lbltotalcount" runat="server" ForeColor="Red" Font-Size="Larger"></asp:Label> </p>  
  20.     <asp:GridView ID="grvCustomers" runat="server"></asp:GridView>  
  21.     </asp:Panel>  
  22. </asp:Content> 

In the Web.config file create the connection string as:

Web.config

  1. <connectionStrings>       
  2.     <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Server=localhost;userid=root;password=;Database=northwind" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/>  
  3. </connectionStrings>
