Link to bind to xml file - here.

Link to bind to text file - here.
You could just read your text file into an Arraylist and bind it to your gridview.

Link to bind to excel - here.

1- You can’t directely bind a text file to a grid, you need to read that file into a collection and bind the collection the grid.

2- Read the xml file into a dataset ds.ReadXml(filePath) and bind it to the grid

Or use XMLDocumentData

XMLDocumentData doc = new XMLDocumentData();
xmlDoc.ReadXML(filename);
DataGridView.DataSource = doc.Dataset;

3- For excel you can use JET oledb provider to access the worksheet
