hide grid when no records

[newbie]

i do not want to display the grid when there are no records found.

However, currently if there are no records it shows a thin line. How can i get rid of that?

Hi,

Try the following code snippet in order to hide the RadGrid when there's no records.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count == 0)
    {
        RadGrid1.Visible = false;
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.

I am binding my grid in another function and not in the needdatasource event.
This code always renders my grid as visible=false.

Hi newbie,

Can you please check whether passing an empty data source for the grid produces the desired result for you:

C#

<GridInstance>.DataSource = new Object[0];

VB.NET

<GridInstance>.DataSource = new Object(){}

This should ensure that the NoRecords template/message will be displayed.
