Hi Bhargavi you can use following code for retrieving data from xml and displaying it on GridView:
At first add System.xml namespace.

C#

XmlTextReader xtr = new XmlTextReader(Server.MapPath("myXml.xml"));
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(xtr);
xtr.Close();
if(ds.Tables.Count != 0)
{
  gridview.DataSource = ds;
  gridview.DataBind();
  //gridview is ID of your GridView Control.
 }

All the best.
