Question

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 (C#) web app, and in it I have a gridview that gets its data from an oracle database.

I want to know how to check if the gridview is empty, and the do something.

I have already tried:

if(GridView.Rows.Count == 0) { // Do Something } 

but it doesn’t work…

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Your code should work. But only after GridView.DataBind() has been called. Generally I don’t check the GridView it’s self, but the datasource of the grid view.

DataTable data = DAL.getdata(); if (data.Rows.Count == 0) {     ShowEmptyData(); } else {     Grid.DataSource = dt;     Grid.DataBind(); }
