how to force display of datagrid with empty datasource

[carballosa]

Hi guys,

I need to use a one row datagrid in my asp.net 1.1 application. The data
source will contain 1 or 0 entries. When no rows of data are present I want
to show an empty row in the datagrid (ie. with empty cells). Unfortunatly I
get no datagrid shown instead. Any idea how I can force the datagrid to show
with an empty row?

Best regards,

you could test for rows and if row.count=0 then set up a virtual DataTable,
new DataRow with no values (or empty values) then DataTable.AddRo w and
databind to this datasource.

Suppose you use datatable as the datagrid's data source, you can easily show
an empty row when no data by following method:

// fill datatable
if(datatable.Ro ws.Count == 0)
{
datatable.Rows. Add(datatable.N ewRow);
}
datagrid.DataSo urce = datatable;
datagrid.DataBi nd();
