I am going to explain about how to perform CRUD operations without using a database; i.e., I have neither used any database of SQL Server nor used any connection string. I took here an example that creates a bill of a grocery shop. Follow along step by step

Step 1

We have to create a Webpage, for which we open the Visual Studio -> new option and select the new Website.
Chose an “ASP.NET Empty Web Site” and give a solution name. For example: I took an example “Customer Bill”.
Right click on the Solution Explorer, go to Add option, select Add New Item option and select Web form and click Add option.

Step 2

After adding the Web form, we have to design my web page, according to my requirement, so here, I took a table and within a table, five textboxes, one button and a grid view.

Default.aspx

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default2.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default2" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div align="center">
<h1 style="color:green">Welcome To CURD Operation Without Database</h1>
<div style="width: 55%; background-image: url(Images/mks1.jpg); border: 5px solid yellow; border-radius: 25px; box-shadow: maroon 10px 10px 10px; color: aliceblue">
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<th>Emp ID:
</th>
<th>Emp Name:
</th>
<th>Dept Name :
</th>
<th>Emp Address :
</th>
<th>Emp Salary:
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmpId" runat="server" Width="120px"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmpName" runat="server" Width="120px"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDeptName" runat="server" Width="120px"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmpAddress" runat="server" Width="120px"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmpSalary" runat="server" Width="120px"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="6" align="right">
<asp:Button ID="AddEmpDetails" runat="server" Style="color: White" Text="Add Employee" OnClick="AddEmpDetails_Click" BackColor="#00248E" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 10px">
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" Width="700" OnRowEditing="GridView1_RowEditing" OnRowUpdating="GridView1_RowUpdating" OnRowDeleting="GridView1_RowDeleting" OnRowCancelingEdit="GridView1_RowCancelingEdit" AutoGenerateColumns="False" runat="server" CellPadding="4" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#3366CC" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px">

<SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#002876" />
</asp:GridView>
</div>
<br />
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Step 3

Now, we have to perform logic for CRUD operation, so for this, right click the design page and select view code.

Here, I have used datatable for the dynamic generated table.

Default.aspx.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
public partial class Default2: System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
DefaultEmpRecord();
}
}
private void DefaultEmpRecord()
{
//creating dataTable
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataRow dr;
dt.TableName = "EmployeeDetails";
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("EmpId", typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("EmpName", typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("DeptName", typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("EmpAddress", typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("EmpSalary", typeof(string)));
dr = dt.NewRow();
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
//saving databale into viewstate
ViewState["EmployeeDetails"] = dt;
//bind Gridview
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
private void AddNewRecordRowToGrid()
{
// check view state is not null
if (ViewState["EmployeeDetails"] != null)
{
//get datatable from view state
DataTable dtCurrentTable = (DataTable) ViewState["EmployeeDetails"];
DataRow drCurrentRow = null;
if (dtCurrentTable.Rows.Count > 0)
{
for (int i = 1; i <= dtCurrentTable.Rows.Count; i++)
{
//add each row into data table
drCurrentRow = dtCurrentTable.NewRow();
drCurrentRow["EmpId"] = txtEmpId.Text;
drCurrentRow["EmpName"] = txtEmpName.Text;
drCurrentRow["DeptName"] = txtDeptName.Text;
drCurrentRow["EmpAddress"] = txtEmpAddress.Text;
drCurrentRow["EmpSalary"] = txtEmpSalary.Text;
}
//Remove initial blank row
if (dtCurrentTable.Rows[0][0].ToString() == "")
{
dtCurrentTable.Rows[0].Delete();
dtCurrentTable.AcceptChanges();
}
//add created Rows into dataTable
dtCurrentTable.Rows.Add(drCurrentRow);
//Bind Gridview with latest Row
GridView1.DataSource = dtCurrentTable;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
}
}
protected void AddEmpDetails_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
AddNewRecordRowToGrid();
}
protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("EmpId", typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("EmpName", typeof(string)));

string EmpSalary = string.Empty;
for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
{
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow) GridView1.Rows[i];
if (i != e.RowIndex)
{
Id = row.Cells[1].Text;
Name = row.Cells[2].Text;
DeptName = row.Cells[3].Text;
EmpAddress = row.Cells[4].Text;
EmpSalary = row.Cells[5].Text;
}
else
{
