  • Data List control has not a default layout like Gridview control in asp.net. 
  • Data List control is converted to Html table tag on Browser side like Gridview in asp.net.
  • Data List control has predefined event to add,delete,Edit,update and cancel the record.

  Step 4:- Now click Design from the below of  Default.aspx page-->you will see following layout of Data List control as shown below:-
layout

  Note:- I have given full explanation of the layout code in  Repeater control application

 Step 5:-  Now go properties of Data List control-->Click Events--> Now generate handler by double click on each as shown below:- 

 Step 6:- Now Open Default.aspx.cs page (or press F7 --> and Write the following c# codes as given below:- 
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data;
using System.IO;

public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            GetData();
        }
    }
    private void GetData()
    {
 SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Max Pool Size=20; Connection Timeout=10;");

        try
        {

            con.Open();
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from employee", con);
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            da.Fill(ds);
            DataList1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
            DataList1.DataBind();
        }
        finally
        {
            con.Close();
        }
    }
  protected void DataList1_EditCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        DataList1.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex;
        GetData();
    }
 protected void DataList1_CancelCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        DataList1.EditItemIndex = -1;
        GetData();
    }
    protected void DataList1_UpdateCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        String eid = ((Label)e.Item.FindControl("Label3")).Text;
        TextBox name = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("TextBox1");
        TextBox salary = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("TextBox3");
   SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Max Pool Size=20; Connection Timeout=10;");
        con.Open();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("update employee set name='" + name.Text + "',salary='" + salary.Text + "'where eid ='" + eid + "'", con);
        int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        if (i > 0)
        {
            Label4.Text = "Recard Updated successfully....";
            GetData();
        }
    }
    protected void DataList1_DeleteCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        String eid = ((Label)e.Item.FindControl("Label1")).Text;
 SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;");
        con.Open();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("delete from employee where eid='" + eid + "'", con);
        int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        if (i > 0)
        {
            Label4.Text = "Recard Deleted successfully....";
            GetData();
        }
    }
    protected void DataList1_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName.Equals("Insert"))
        {
 SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Max Pool Size=20; Connection Timeout=10;");
            con.Open();
            TextBox ename = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("TextBox4");
            TextBox salary = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("TextBox5");
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into employee values('" + ename.Text + "','" + salary.Text + "')", con);
            int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            if (i > 0)
            {
                Label4.Text = "Recard inserted successfully....";
                GetData();
            }
        }
    }
    protected void LinkButton5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Redirect("default2.aspx");
    }

    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function print_page() {
            window.print();
        } 
    </script> 
</head>
<div>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript :print_page();"><strong><span class="style1">Take print out</span></strong></a>
</div>
<form>

<table border="0" width="100%" >
<tr>
<td><b>Emp Id</b></td>
<td><b>Emp Name</b></td>

</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>  
</form>
