Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to show the SharePoint document library in GridView.
You need to get hold of the SPFile object, which is a property of a ListItem item, and get the ServerRelativeUrl property. Then you need to add code to an <a> tag .
Here is a similar thread for your reference:
