Add one Gridview and bind a Data using SqlDataSource.and Add three Textboxes to display a data in Textboxes when the GridviewRow is Selected.

Ste the Gridview AutoGenerateColumns property to 'False'.

You will need to set the Bound column in order to see the text in the cells of the grid view control

<asp:GridView runat ="Server" ID="Gridview1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" AutoGenerateSelectButton="True"OnSelectedIndexChanged="Gridview1_SelectedIndexChanged" style="z-index: 100; left: 266px; position: absolute; top: 71px" CellPadding="4"ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" Width="306px" Height="137px">

    <Columns >

    <asp:BoundField HeaderText ="Rowid"  DataField ="Rowid" />

    <asp:BoundField HeaderText ="Name" DataField ="Name" />

    <asp:BoundField HeaderText ="Marks" DataField ="marks" />  

    Columns>

asp:GridView>

 <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:shakeerConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [emp]">

asp:SqlDataSource>

In Gridview Properties set 'AutoGenerateSelectButton=True'.See below  image of Gridview after setting   'AutoGenerateSelectButton=True'.
