• EmptyContentDisplayMode—Defines the modes for displaying empty content. The property have two modes: - ItemsSourceNull—Displays the empty content view only when the ItemsSource is null. - ItemsSourceNullOrEmpty—Displays the empty content view when ItemsSource is null or when the source is empty(has zero items).

xaml

<telerik:RadDataGrid x:Name="dataGrid"
                     EmptyContentTemplate="{StaticResource EmptyContentTemplate}"/>

<ResourceDictionary>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="EmptyContentTemplate">
        <Label Margin="10" TextColor="Black" HorizontalOptions="Center" Text="No data to display"/>
    </DataTemplate>
</ResourceDictionary>
