Question

I want to show a message on the screen if a search returns no records in a datasource, just not sure of the syntax,

eg

if(gridview.datasource.[number of records] = 0)
{
 do a thing
}

or evaluate the linq query behind the datasource,

any ideas?

thanks

You can use the Rows collection of the gridview.

if(gridview.Rows.Count == 0)
{
 do a thing
}
