How to Implement 5 star rating system in ASP.NET inside Gridview.


INTRODUCTION
In this post, I am explain how to Implement 5 star rating system in ASP.NET inside Gridview. 
STEPS :
STEP - 1 : CREATE NEW PROJECT.
Go to File > New > Project > Select asp.net web forms application > Entry Application Name > Click OK.
STEP-2: ADD A DATABASE.
Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on App_Data folder > Add > New item > Select SQL Server Database Under Data > Enter Database name > Add.
STEP-3: CREATE 2 TABLE FOR SAVE/ FETCH DATA.
Open Database > Right Click on Table > Add New Table > Add Columns > Save > Enter table name > Ok. 
In this example, I have used two tables as below 
Table1






Table2



STEP-4: ADD Linq To Sql.
Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on Project name form Solution Explorer > Add > New item > Select Linq To Sql Class 
STEP-5: ADD A CLASS.

Right Click on Solution Explorer > Add > Class > Enter Class Name > Add.
Here is the class. 

public class ASPRatingApp
{
       public ASPRatingApp()
       {
              //
              // TODO: Add constructor logic here
              //
       }
    public int? ArticleID { get; set; }
    public string ArticleTitle { get; set; }
    public int? Score { get; set; }
}

STEP-6: ADD A WEBPAGE AND DESIGN FOR SHOW/SAVE RATING FROM/TO DATABASE.

Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on Project name form Solution Explorer > Add > New item > Select web form/ web form using master page under Web > Enter page name > Add.
