Solution 1

There is one event of Gridview i.e. RowDataBound. You can do all your action here, this will execute before loading the Gridview.

I found another way for that :

C#

var query = from book in db.Books
            select book;
System.Data.DataTable dt = new System.Data.DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Name");
dt.Columns.Add("RegisterDate");
foreach (var item in query)
{
        dt.Rows.Add(item.Name,
        LibString.ConvrtToSolarDate(item.RegisterDate));
}
myDataGridView.DataSource = dt;
