gridView and zero rows

[Nalaka]

Hi,
on a browser page, GridView does not show up when there are no rows.
(at least this is what I have experienced.)

is there a way to show the empty grid (headers etc.), when there are no
rows?


Thanks in advance

You can set the EmptyDataText property or edit the EmptyDataTemplate, but I
don't think there is a built in way to show the header or footer when there
are no rows in the bound data source.

Here are two discussions on that topic that backup my statement:

Check the properties

= YES..

You can "trick" a GridView into displaying rows even when there is no data:
