I want to display category names in the form of a table. Next to the category name column, I want to have a column containing buttons. On clicking this button, it should redirect to another page showing more details about that specific category.

Could you help me out?

What I have tried:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=NASHIISHEENA;Initial Catalog=HousekeepingPortal_DB;Integrated Security=True");
   SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select Cat_Name from tblCategory",conn);
   conn.Open();
   SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

   GridView1.DataSource = dr;
   GridView1.DataBind();
   conn.Close();
}

refer this sample

<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="GridView1" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
          <Columns>
              <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Category Name " DataField="Cat_Name" />
              <asp:HyperLinkField DataTextField="Cat_Name" DataNavigateUrlFields="Cat_Name" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~/Details.aspx?category={0}"
                  HeaderText="Details" ItemStyle-Width="150" />
          </Columns>
      </asp:GridView>

In details page:

public partial class Details : System.Web.UI.Page
   {
       protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
          string categroy =  Request.QueryString["category"];
           // you code to populate the details

       }
   }
