            </div>  
        </div>  
    </form>  
</body>  
</html>

Write this code.

Default.aspx.cs


using System;  
using System.Collections.Generic;  
using System.Linq;  
using System.Web;  
using System.Web.UI;  
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;  

namespace GridviewResponsive  
{  
      public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page  
      {  
            NorthwindDataContext dc = new NorthwindDataContext();  
            protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
            {  
                  var qry = from s in dc.Customers  
                  select s;  
                  grdCustomer.DataSource = qry;  
                  grdCustomer.DataBind();  
            }  
      }  
}
