Databind for GridView

[bbqbbq]

Hi,

I got a question when about the databinding for GridView. I am using the data source configuration wizard to bind a sqlsource1 from my database. However,
I need way to find if there are data return from my database, if yes, I will show the data, or, If no, I want to show a message says that "no record has been found". I am using a search buttom to trigger the databinding procedure.

here is part of my code:

protected void ButtonSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (GridView1.Rows.Count > 0)
{
Label1.Text = "3. Please select an address below";
}
else
{
Label1.Text = "No records! Please enter a valid site address.";
}

However, I noticed that the databind alway happens after the buttom click event, that means, the GridView1.Row.Count always return 0.

Please give me some suggest.
Thanks for your reply!

You should call a proc that will return the data for the search. Use that as your datasource then bind the data to the gridview. After that is where you should check the count of the gridview.
