.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / July 2007Have an Empty Grid Show In Asp.net page
Hi, I am trying to create an asp.net page for a web site and would like to put a grid on the page that won't be filled until a user clicks a button. But I want the grid to be visible before the user clicks the button. I've tried the data grid, table, etc and cannot find one that does this. Is there one that I'm missing? Why can't you bind it with something like a piece of XML with spaces as its content Regards John Timney (MVP) http://www.johntimney.com http://www.johntimney.com/blog > Hi, > I am trying to create an asp.net page for a web site and would like to > put a grid on the page that won't be filled until a user clicks a > button.

Well all your trying to do is display a gridview on the page, then postback and bind to it to fill it once a button click occurs. To display an empty one - it needs to have data, which could as easily be spaces as your actual data. Create a dynamic dataset and bidn it on the fly. http://www.dotnetbips.com/articles/727f44ea-8183-4bef-a26d-727ee6324f8c.aspx When your button click occurs, bind it to your actual data instead.

I get it now...thanks I'll give that a try.
