"reload page"

[NuB]

I have a C# web form that allows the user to perform a search if all the
required fields are filled in, which works fine, my issue is if a user does
a sucessfull search then enters in data and misses a field they get a
message "field Name is missing" the result grid remains, how can I have the
grid not shown from the prior successful search if the users gets a
validation error for missing a required field or of no records are found?

you can rebind it to a null value. that has the effect of hiding the grid.
or you can simply hide the grid (that doesn't necesarilly flush it though)

where would I do that?
I have something like this

on my button click
if (Page.IsValid)
{
grid.datasource = datasetname
grid.databind
}
else
{
grid.visible = false;
}


and that does not hide the grid. I also tried it in the page load event as
well. if Page.IsPostBack())
