how to read xml and then bind it to GridView control in ASP.Net using c# ?

In this article I will explain how to read the data from XML file and bind toGridView control using C# in ASP.Net.
I have as xml file with name as test.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<NewDataSet>
 <student>
 <id> 1 </id>
 <name>Rasik</name>
 <gender>Male</gender>
 <age>27</age>
 </student>
 <student>
 <id>Thivan</id>
 <name>male</name>
 <gender>25</gender>
 <age>Thivan</age>
 </student>
</NewDataSet>

Design a gridview with name as GridView1 in BindGrid.aspx

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"></asp:GridView>

Reading the XML file data and binding it to GridView control

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack) {
BindGrid();
}
}
private void BindGrid()
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/test.xml"));
GridView1.DataSource = ds;
GridView1.DataBind();
}

Output:
