Is there data in it?
If there's no data in a gridview, I believe it's default behavior is to not draw itself.

There is no data in the gridview.If i dragged sqldatasource and fill some data its availlbale in IE page

can i display gridview for my owncolumns (not in table)?i mean i want to use gridview as< table > without filling a table or storedproc .is it possible?

The DataGrid will not be drawn if there is nothing in the data source.
If you want to display an empty DataGrid you will have to supply it with a table that holds spaces (nbsp;) as your source.

You can also use the EmptyDataTest attribute as well as the <EmptyDataRowStyle> element

Here's part of what I use:

<asp:GridView ID="gvOverdueSites" EmptyDataText="(None)" >
   <EmptyDataRowStyle BackColor="Transparent"  HorizontalAlign="Center" />
</asp:GridView>
