but the I dont see the data, just empty rows

The reader.HasRows is true which tells that it got some rows

A DataReader is not an item that you can put into a data context. You need to get the data out of the DataReader and populate proper classes. You bind *that* and not the reader.

Thanks everyone,
I got the solution. I used SqlDataAdapter

SqlDataAdapter myAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(selectStr, connString);
DataSet dset = new DataSet();
int i = myAdapter.Fill(dset);
dataGrid1.ItemsSource = dset.Tables[0].DefaultView;
