Hi,

Is there a way to show the column headers of a GridView control even if
there is no data? The only thing I see is the EmptyDataTemplate but I would
also like to display the column headers.

Thanks

Hans

re: Showing the column headers of a GridView when there is no data


Hi Hans,

As for the GridView or other template databound control, they'll populate
UI only when there is existing valid record binded with them. So I'm afraid
for empty datasource collection ,we could not make the GridView only
displaying Headers. If you do need to make only an headering line visible,
we may use another GridView or Table which is populated the headers with a
dummy record and hidden it when our gridview has records but make it
visible when there is no datarecords.

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

I was expecting that answer already. Can I put in a feature request for
future versions to add this feature?

Cheers

Hans
