OK, the problem basically is that when I drag the GridView from the tools bar in the body and connect it with fields I want to display. After I hit Display in Browser Nothing appear. I got empty page

Here is my code :
 
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Admin.aspx.cs" Inherits="Admin" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    
        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
        </asp:GridView>
    
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Gridview needs a datasource and something to display.

Here is an article on databinding.

Even when I add datasource still Nothing appear. I don't now it was working fine

So the question is what changed? The code above has no binding unless it is in code behind. Do you have a sample of code that was working before but isn't now?

Have you tried starting a new website in Visual Studio, perhaps one of your files (web.config?) is changed somehow.

What version are you using?

Yes I tried that, and I am using VB 2008. Actually it is the same code I put above

Can we see the file
Admin.aspx.cs?

Here is the code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
 
public partial class Admin : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
 
    }
}

Again, there is no databinding code in either file, so It is not possible that this used to display something. Either your code was removed or these are not the files that were working before.

Please read the above article on databinding.
