Default FooterText when empty

[IT]

Is there a way to set a default FooterText for when the grid is empty (other than writing a custom one)?  I want the footer to show "Total Amount: $0.00", but it displays "Total Amount: "

<telerik:GridBoundColumn
   DataField="Amount"
   DataType="System.Double"
   HeaderText="Amount"
   ReadOnly="True"
   SortExpression="Amount"
   UniqueName="Amount"
   Aggregate="Sum"
   ItemStyle-Wrap="false"
   FooterAggregateFormatString="Total Amount: {0:C}">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

 

 

 

 

Adding an attribute of FooterText="Total Amount: 0" still displays "Total Amount: "

Thanks!

Hello Sundance,

You can set the default FooterText when the grid is empty, by checking the DataItem count explicitly and accessing the footer cells using the ColumnUniqueNames of the corresponding columns.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
      if (e.Item is GridFooterItem)
        {
            GridFooterItem footer = (GridFooterItem)e.Item;
            if (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count == 0)
            {
                footer["Amount"].Text = "Total Amount: $0.00";
            }
        }
    }

Thanks, Shinu!

(I was hoping that there was an attribute that I could set for when the grid is empty.)
