Apply Jquery DataTables plugin to ASP GridView

You can add thead, tbody and tfoot tags using GridView Prerender event try this code

protected void GridView1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  // You only need the following 2 lines of code if you are not 
  // using an ObjectDataSource of SqlDataSource
  GridView1.DataSource = Sample.GetData();
  GridView1.DataBind();

  if (GridView1.Rows.Count > 0) {
   //This replaces <td> with <th> and adds the scope attribute
   GridView1.UseAccessibleHeader = true;

   //This will add the <thead> and <tbody> elements
   GridView1.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader;

   //This adds the <tfoot> element. 
   //Remove if you don't have a footer row
   GridView1.FooterRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableFooter;
  }

}

Don't forget to add the event handler on source page as below

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" CssClass="gvv"
      OnPreRender="GridView1_PreRender">
</asp:GridView>

Now you can simply call JQuery function as usual to render it

$(document).ready(function () {
    $(".gvv").dataTable();
});

The problem is that GridView control doesn't add <thead> element but just put the header row into <body> section of generated table whereas the Data Table plugin requires a <thead> section in a table. Try to use following script:

$(function () {
    $(".gvv").prepend( $("<thead></thead>").append( $(this).find("tr:first") ) ).dataTable();
});

P.S. also you can use controls those don't rendering with default layout like Repeater or ListView
