Hello there...
I want to show in one gridview one item from one sqldatasource(first), one item from a second datasource and one other item from another (third)datasource. Any idea how it can be shown three sqldatasources in one gridview?

This is just an example:

ASP.NET

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataKeyNames="ID">
    <Columns>            
        <asp:BoundField DataField="item1" HeaderText="item1"></asp:BoundField>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="item2" HeaderText="item2"></asp:BoundField>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="item3" HeaderText="item3"></asp:BoundField> <Columns></asp:GridView>

  <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString='<%$ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString1 %>' SelectCommand="SELECT item1 from table1"</asp:SqlDataSource>    
  <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString='<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString1 %>' SelectCommand="SELECT item2 from table2"</asp:SqlDataSource> 
  <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString='<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString1 %>' SelectCommand="SELECT item3 from table3"</asp:SqlDataSource>

If they have a 1 = 1 = 1 relationship, then combine the queries (datasources) to give you one result set back.

If these are 3 disparate data sets, then you'll need three different gridviews, but you can put them all in one table.

A datagrid is similar to a database table, each row corresponds to columns of related data
