Question

Is it possible to force gridview to display x number of rows even if the data is less than x rows? With the difference being made up with empty rows, of course.

I found this page: http://aspdotnetcodebook.blogspot.ca/2008/03/how-to-force-force-x-number-of-rows-in.html while trying to google the issue but there’s not much explanation on how to use the presented solution.

Thanks,

The following code does what I was looking to do:

DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
DataRow dr1;
dt1.Columns.Add("ProjectID");
dt1.Columns.Add("ProjectName");
dt1.Columns.Add("Country");
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
     dr1 = dt1.NewRow();
     dr1["ProjectID"] = dr1["ProjectName"] = dr1["Country"] = "";
     dt1.Rows.Add(dr1);
}
dt1.AcceptChanges();
ProjectListGridView.DataSource = dt1;
ProjectListGridView.DataBind();
