Answer 1

Hey you have to bind “Course” EntitySetName instead of “userCourses” and

 <Columns> 
            <asp:BoundField DataField="name" HeaderText="course" SortExpression="name" /> 
            <asp:BoundField DataField="idc" HeaderText="ID" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="id" /> 

        </Columns> 

you have to write commandText

<asp:EntityDataSource
   ID="EntityDataSource"
   ConnectionString="name=dbEn"
   DefaultContainerName="dbEn"
   CommandText="
      SELECT c.Name,uc.ID
      FROM Course c
      Inner JOIN userCours uc ON c.IDc=uc.CourseID"
   RunAt="server">
</asp:EntityDataSource>
