[Michele]

Hello,
It's possible to have a "No data present" message when the datasource has got no item in the gridview?
Thanks in advance

Hi Paolo,

We are considering of implementing EmptyDataTemplate in the RadGridView out of the box in the future, Right now you can work around this manually. Attached I am sending you a sample which illustrates how to go about doing so.

I hope this works.

Hello, I am trying to do the same thing in version 2009.3.1314.1030 of the DLLs and there is no longer a GridViewItemsControl control that would be needed for the template, can you tell me know it would be done now?  Thank you.
