There are several options.

1. Try to add an empty data row as described in this article

2. Create a custom gridview control by overriding the CreateChildControls method of the GridView control as described here http://mattberseth.com/blog/2007/07/how_to_show_header_and_footer.html

Sorry both of them in C#.
