Step 2 : .cs page

using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Linq;
 using System.Web;
 using System.Web.UI;
 using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
 using System.Data; 
 namespace ContextMenu
{
    public partial class ContextMenu : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                BindGrid();
            }
        } 
        private void BindGrid()
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            dt = GetDatasource();
            Gridview1.DataSource = dt;
            Gridview1.DataBind();
        } 
        private DataTable GetDatasource()
        {
            string path = Server.MapPath("~/customers.xml");
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            ds.ReadXml(path);
            return ds.Tables[0];
        } 
        protected void Gridview1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
            {
                DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                dt = (DataTable)Gridview1.DataSource;
                int rowindex = e.Row.RowIndex;
                e.Row.Attributes.Add("class", "customerRow"); 
            }
        } 
        protected void Gridview1_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
        {
            Gridview1.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
            BindGrid();
        }
    }
}

Note:

  1. Use contextmenu jquery
  2. Working fine in all the browser like (IE, Mozilla , Chrome )
  3. Working fine using Ajax Update Panel.
