.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / August 2007check for if a gridview is empty
What is a good way to check for a gridview or a datasource not having any rows? If my gridview does not have any rows i want to display a message saying the recordset is empty. I'm doing it now by setting the message visible = true on page load and set it to false on if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) this.Label1.Visible = false; Meaning it get s set to false on each row. I'd like a better way. Thanks KES  Signature(i''ll be asking a lot of these, but I find C# totally way cooler than vb and there''s no go''n back!!!) thanks (as always) kes On Aug 29, 11:00 pm, WebBuilder451 <WebBuilder...@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > What is a good way to check for a gridview or a datasource not having any rows? > If my gridview does not have any rows i want to display a message saying the [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > KES > -- Do you know that there is the EmptyDataText Property that can be used to show such message? http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.empt ydatatext.aspx No i did not that is why i asked the question.

GridView1.DataBind(); if (GridView1.Rows.Count == 0) { Label1.Text = "No records found"; Label1.Visible = true; } i was adding header rows on row data bound or row created and this was always throwing the count off. I did not see that property for empty text. Again This was an obvious, big still a big help!
