Display an empty grid

D

David Thielen

I would swear I asked this yesterday - but I can't find my post (or any
answers). So here goes again.

In a GridView, when it is empty, instead of a message, I would like the grid
to display, preferably with a single empty row but having just the header and
no rows would be ok. How can I do this?

Hi David,

You can inherit from GridView and override CreateChildControls to create
the header row when the data row is empty:

Hi, you can assign the text to be displayed when the GridView is empty
to the emptyDataText property. If you do more formatting, you can write
the HTML in the <EmptyDataTemplate>

Hope this helps,
