Binding Gridview using LINQ to XML

Binding Gridview using LINQ to XML

 

Step 1) Create a Web Page 

                Add gridview 
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <h1>Binding Gridview using LINQ to XML</h1>
        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"></asp:GridView>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>


 Step2)   Add Xml file to Web Project, name it as Salesorder.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<HeaderLines>
  <SalesOrder>
    <Header Date="17-02-04" Type="Quote">
      <SellTo CountryRegion="GB">
       <Name>The Cannon Group PLC</Name>
       <Address>192 Market Square</Address>
       <City>Birmingham</City>
       <Zip>B27 4KT</Zip>
     </SellTo>
     <BillTo CountryRegion="GB">
       <Name>The Cannon Group PLC</Name>
       <Address>192 Market Square</Address>
       <City>Birmingham</City>
       <Zip>B27 4KT</Zip>
     </BillTo>
     <Lines>
       <Item PartNum="LS-150">
         <ProductName>Loudspeaker, Cherry, 150W</ProductName>
         <Quantity>8</Quantity>
         <UnitPrice>12900</UnitPrice>
         <ShipmentDate />
         <Comment>Confirm the voltage is 75W</Comment>
       </Item>
          <Item PartNum="LS-MAN-10">
          <ProductName>Manual for Loudspeakers</ProductName>
          <Quantity>20</Quantity>
            <UnitPrice>100</UnitPrice>
          <ShipmentDate />
          <Comment />
       </Item>
          <Item PartNum="LS-2">
            <ProductName>Cables for Loudspeakers</ProductName>
            <Quantity>10</Quantity>
            <UnitPrice>2100</UnitPrice>
            <ShipmentDate />
            <Comment />
            </Item>
     </Lines>
     <Contact>Mr. Andy Toal</Contact>
     <Terms>14 days</Terms>
    </Header>
  </SalesOrder>
</HeaderLines>

Step 3)  Query XML file using LINQ to XML and Bind it to GridView

void LoadXml()
        {
            try
            {
                XDocument doc = XDocument.Load( MapPath("SalesOrder.xml"));
               
                var query = from ele in doc.Descendants("Item")
                            select new
                            {
                                ProductName = ele.Element("ProductName").Value,
                                Quanity = ele.Element("Quantity").Value,
                                UnitPrice = ele.Element("UnitPrice").Value,
                                Total = Convert.ToInt32(ele.Element("Quantity").Value) *
                                        Convert.ToDouble(ele.Element("UnitPrice").Value)
                            };
                GridView1.DataSource = query.ToList(); //Bind it to GridView
                GridView1.DataBind();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
              
            }
Step 4) Call LoadXml in on Page_Load() Method.

Step 5) Run the Page.
