The best way is to use the DataSource. Here is the code as per your requirement(add columns to the data gridview either in design mode or before calling this code) string connectionString = ConfigurationManager .ConnectionStrings[ MyConnection ].ToString(); using ( SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection (connectionString)) { using ( SqlCommand myCommand = conn.CreateCommand()) { myCommand.CommandType = System.Data. CommandType .Text; myCommand.CommandText = SELECT * FROM employee ; conn.Open(); SqlDataReader dr = myCommand.ExecuteReader(); while (dr.Read()) { dataGridView1.Rows.Add(dr[0].ToString() dr[1].ToString() dr[2].ToString() dr[3].ToString()); } } }

Here is sample code to create columns and add data from SQL to list view. Hope this helps and please tune the code You can create columns to ListView within the code as shown below or you can add columns in Designer View private void LstVw_Load( object sender EventArgs e) { AddColumnsToListView(); string connectionString = ConfigurationManager .ConnectionStrings[ MyConnection ].ToString(); using ( SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection (connectionString)) { using ( SqlCommand myCommand = conn.CreateCommand()) { myCommand.CommandType = System.Data. CommandType .Text; myCommand.CommandText = SELECT * FROM employee ; conn.Open(); SqlDataReader dr = myCommand.ExecuteReader(); while (dr.Read()) { ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem ( new string [] {dr[0] != System. DBNull .Value ? dr.GetInt32(0).ToString() : string .Empty dr[1] != System. DBNull .Value ? dr.GetString(1) : string .Empty dr[3] != System. DBNull .Value ? dr.GetString(3) : string .Empty}); //ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(dr[0] != System.DBNull.Value ? dr.GetInt32(0).ToString() : string.Empty); //lvi.SubItems.Add(dr[1] != System.DBNull.Value ? dr.GetString(1) : string.Empty ); //lvi.SubItems.Add(dr[3] != System.DBNull.Value ? dr.GetString(3) : string.Empty); listView2.Items.Add(lvi); } } } } private void AddColumnsToListView() { listView2.Columns.Add( Id  30 HorizontalAlignment .Right); listView2.Columns.Add( Name  80 HorizontalAlignment .Left); listView2.Columns.Add( Job  50 HorizontalAlignment .Left); }

string connectionString = yourconnectionstring; using ( SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection (connectionString)) { using ( SqlCommand myCommand = conn.CreateCommand()) { myCommand.CommandType = System.Data. CommandType .Text; myCommand.CommandText = SELECT * FROM employee ; conn.Open(); SqlDataReader dr = myCommand.ExecuteReader(); while (dr.Read()) { listView1.Items.Add(dr.GetString(1)); } } }
