Grid with no details not showing

[Brendan Vogt]

Hi,

I populate my grid data with the given client ID, as follows:

private void LoadCharges()
{
   int _ClientId = 0;
   List<ClientCharges> clientCharges = ClientChargesManager.QueryClientChargesByClientId(_ClientId);
   
   rgCharges.DataSource = clientCharges;
   rgCharges.DataBind();
}

I am looking for a blank grid that says something like "No charges found", so I tried sending it a client ID of 0 (this client ID does not exist), but then the grid is not even populated.  It doesn't even appear.

Here is my grid:

<radG:RadGrid
   ID="rgCharges"
   AutoGenerateColumns="false"
   GridLines="None"
   runat="server">
   <MasterTableView NoMasterRecordsText="Nothing.." NoDetailRecordsText="None" DataKeyNames="ClientChargeID">
   <Columns>
      <radG:GridBoundColumn DataField="ChargeAmount" HeaderText="Charge Amount" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="right" UniqueName="ChargeAmount" DataFormatString="{0:###,###.00}">
      </radG:GridBoundColumn>
   </Columns>
   </MasterTableView>
</radG:RadGrid>

Please help.

Thanks
Brendan

Hi Brendan,

I don't know which version of the Grid you are using. In my Grid(5.1.1) I set the ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords property to true and it is working properly.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView  NoMasterRecordsText="No records in the master table" ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords="true"   >

One another suggestion will be to set the DataSource of the Grid as shown below to display the empty Grid.

CS:

RadGrid.DataSource=new String[]{};

Thanks
Shinu.
