Display data from Database other than ASP.Net GridView using C# and VB.Net

Hi itsbaala,

Please use Repeater control instead of GridView Control. 

Because a GridView can only display your data in a table format, but a Repeater can show your data in any way you want to display.

Database

I have made use of the following table Customers with the schema as follows. 

I have already inserted few records in the table.

You can download the database table SQL by clicking the download link below.

<asp:Repeater ID="rptCustomers" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div>
            <span>CustomerId:</span>
            <asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("CustomerId") %>' runat="server" />
        </div>
        <div>
            <span>Name:</span>
            <asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' runat="server" />
        </div>
        <div>
            <span>Country:</span>
            <asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("Country") %>' runat="server" />
        </div>
        <hr />
    </ItemTemplate>
