I’ve got a gridview and I want it to display the header row even if there isn’t any data in the collection that it’s binding to.

Any ideas on how to do this neatly?

    Use the <EmptyDataTemplate> of the GridView control to define a table to be displayed if the data source contains no data. For example 

    <EmptyDataTemplate>
    <table class="Standard" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
            <th style="width: 25%;">
                Header 1</th>
            <th style="width: 25%;">
                Header 2</th>
            <th style="width: 25%;">
                Header 3</th>
            <th style="width: 25%;">
                Header 4`</th>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td style="text-align: center; font-size: 1em; font-style: italic; padding: 1em 1em 1em 1em;"
                colspan="4">
                --- No results found ---
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</EmptyDataTemplate>
