Step 2: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx is as in the following:

  1. <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="GridViewRadioButtonBindApp.WebForm1" %>  
  2. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">  
  3. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">  
  4. <head id="Head1" runat="server">  
  5.     <title></title>  
  6. </head>  
  7. <body>  
  8.     <form id="form1" runat="server">  
  9.     <center>  
  10.         <div>  
  11.             <table>  
  12.                 <tr>  
  13.                     <td colspan="2" align="center">  
  14.                         <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="GridView Radio Button Bind App" Font-Bold="true"  
  15.                             Font-Size="Large" Font-Names="Verdana" ForeColor="Maroon"></asp:Label>  
  16.                     </td>  
  17.                 </tr>  
  18.                 <tr>  
  19.                     <td colspan="2" align="center">

  21.                             BorderColor="Tan" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="2" AutoGenerateColumns="false"  
  22.                             ForeColor="Black" GridLines="None" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound">  
  23.                             <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="PaleGoldenrod" />  
  24.                             <FooterStyle BackColor="Tan" />  
  25.                             <HeaderStyle BackColor="Tan" Font-Bold="True" />  
  26.                             <PagerStyle BackColor="PaleGoldenrod" ForeColor="DarkSlateBlue" HorizontalAlign="Center" />

  30.                             <SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#E1DB9C" />  
  31.                             <SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#C2A47B" />  
  32.                             <Columns>  
  33.                                 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="FirstName">  
  34.                                     <ItemTemplate>  
  35.                                         <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblFName" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName") %>'></asp:Label></ItemTemplate>  
  36.                                 </asp:TemplateField>  
  37.                                 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="LastName">  
  38.                                     <ItemTemplate>  
  39.                                         <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblLName" Text='<%# Bind("LastName") %>'></asp:Label></ItemTemplate>  
  40.                                 </asp:TemplateField>  
  41.                                 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Gender">  
  42.                                     <ItemTemplate>  
  43.                                         <asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server">  
  44.                                             <asp:ListItem Text="Male" Value="1"></asp:ListItem>  
  45.                                             <asp:ListItem Text="Female" Value="2"></asp:ListItem>  
  46.                                         </asp:RadioButtonList>  
  47.                                     </ItemTemplate>  
  48.                                 </asp:TemplateField>  
  49.                             </Columns>  
  50.                         </asp:GridView>  
  51.                     </td>  
  52.                 </tr>  
  53.             </table>  
  54.         </div>  
  55.     </center>  
  56.     </form>  
  57. </body>  
  58. </html> 

Step 3: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx.cs is as in the following:

  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;  
  4. using System.Web;  
  5. using System.Web.UI;  
  6. using System.Web.UI.WebControls;  
  7. using System.Data.SqlClient;  
  8. using System.Data;  
  9. namespace GridViewRadioButtonBindApp  
  10. {  
  11.     public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page  
  12.     {  
  13.         SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=WIN-KV3BO1RQQF7;Initial Catalog=Company;Integrated Security=True");  
  14.         protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  15.         {  
  16.             if (!IsPostBack) { con.Open();  
  17.                 SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select FirstName, LastName, Gender from Employee", con);  
  18.                 SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);  
  19.                 DataSet ds = new DataSet();  
  20.                 da.Fill(ds);  
  21.                 con.Close();  
  22.                 GridView1.DataSource = ds;  
  23.                 GridView1.DataBind();  
  24.             }  
  25.         }  
  26.         protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)  
  27.         {  
  28.             if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)  
  29.             {  
  30.                 int genderValue = (int)DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Gender");  
  31.                 RadioButtonList rb = (RadioButtonList)e.Row.FindControl("RadioButtonList1");  
  32.                 rb.Items.FindByValue(genderValue.ToString()).Selected = true;  
  33.             }  
  34.         }  
  35.     }  
  36. }

Step 4: The output for the application is shown below:
