Create a Data Adapter, create a Command Object with a Select query, set the adapter’s command to this command object, issue an adapter.fill(dataset), set the data source of gridview as the dataset and databind the GridView.

For code, a simple Google search will work. You did not even specify a language. I guess you are working in C# and this is your college project. Is it?
