If the query is static you can do like this, otherwise you can use parameters on the query:

        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString);

        string sqlQuery = "select  BrowserName, LoggedOnTime, BrowserVersion"
                            + " from BrowserSession inner join Users on UserId=Users.UsersId"
                            + " where UserId=21 group by BrowserName, LoggedOnTime,BrowserVersion order by BrowserName, LoggedOnTime";

        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlQuery, con);
        SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();

        adapter.Fill(ds, "TableName");

        GridView1.DataSource = ds;
        GridView1.DataBind();

Using Parameters:

        string sqlQuery = "select  BrowserName, LoggedOnTime, BrowserVersion"
                            + " from BrowserSession inner join Users on UserId=Users.UsersId"
                            + " where UserId=@userID group by BrowserName, LoggedOnTime,BrowserVersion order by BrowserName, LoggedOnTime";

        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlQuery, con);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@userID", 21);
