You can read xml to DataSet and pass DataSet empdetails table to DataGridView like this:

//Create xml reader
XmlReader xmlFile = XmlReader.Create("fullPathToYourXmlFile.xml", new XmlReaderSettings());
DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
//Read xml to dataset
dataSet.ReadXml(xmlFile);
//Pass empdetails table to datagridview datasource
dataGridView.DataSource = dataSet.Tables["empdetails"];
//Close xml reader
xmlFile.Close();

C#
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    ds.ReadXml("C:/XMLData/employee.xml");
    DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables(0);


VB.NET
    Dim ds As New DataSet
    ds.ReadXml("C:/XMLData/employee.xml")
    DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)

You can use XML Linq as below

XElement xml = XElement.Load(XMl String);
var xmlData = from item in xml.Element("empdetails")                              
                          select new {id = item.Attribute("id") , name= item.Attribute("name")};
dataGrid.DataSource = xmlData.ToList();
