You can check the DataSource of the GridView if it is empty then show the message to the user.

If there is no data to disply, the following code will show the message "No records found" in webpage.

<table style="width: 100&#37;; height:90%" border="0">
<tr style="width: 100%; height:300px" valign="top">
<td>
<asp:GridView ID="gvApplicants" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
CellPadding="1" ForeColor="#333333"
GridLines="None" Width="100%" FooterStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left"
PagerStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" PageSize="13" AllowPaging="True" OnRowDataBound="gvApplicants_RowDataBound" OnDataBound="gvApplicants_DataBound" OnRowEditing="gvApplicants_RowEditing" OnRowCancelingEdit="gvApplicants_RowCancelingEdit" >

<FooterStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Left" CssClass="GridView" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#EFF3FB" CssClass="GridView" />
<SelectedRowStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" Font-Size="Small" BackColor="#8080FF" BorderColor="#8080FF" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#2461BF" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" Font-Size="Small" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" CssClass="GridView" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
<EmptyDataTemplate>
No records found
</EmptyDataTemplate>
<PagerTemplate>
</PagerTemplate>
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField Visible="false" DataField="pers_no" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Applicant Number" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblAppNo" runat="server" Width="36%" CssClass="Label" Text='<%#Eval("empno")%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
<ItemStyle width= "7%" />
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField>
<ItemStyle Width="2%" />
<HeaderStyle Width="2%" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name" HeaderStyle-VerticalAlign="top">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" Width="100%" CssClass="Label" Text='<%#Server.HtmlEncode((string)Eval("name"))%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle />
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="border:1px">
</tr>
</table>

Hi Nidhi,

As per your quote it seems that u are populating grid with AutoGenerate columns property true.

In this case u need to add EmptyDataTemplate to grid through code and put your message within it.

In other case, u can right click on grid, go to Edit Template and click on EmptyDataTemplate. Type your message within area provided.

Hope this would help u.

There is simple solution for that in code check for Gridview contains, If the fridview contains no rows the do the response.write("your custom message");
To check gridview contain no rows -> gridview object.rows.count==0 then response.write("");

if(GridView1.Rows.Count==0)
{
//display your msg here.
}

thats it!

SO SIMPLE DEAR,
if there is record then its okay.
but if there is not records comming to gridview then just make sure that gridview doesn't have any record by a small coding//
That is,
GridView1.DataBind();
if (GridView1.Rows.Count ==0)
{

Label1.Text = "no such employee exits";
}

else { }
it will first see that there is no data found so it will display that message...
okay...
for detail pls meet me at [email]engg_nyks@yahoo.co.in[/email]
bye

you can give messge in emptydatatemplate as follow

clik on the arrow on the top of the gridview control,click on edit template option and now select the emptyDataTemplate and write the message there

Hi,

Hope you are databinding gridview with some data source.

Go to gridview properties and set EmptyDataText="Record not found".

Hope this will help you. :)

Thanks,

Hi,
Below is the code for showing the message where the grid retrieves no data :
Here i have taken one lable to show the message.

Dim con as new sqlconnection(str) ''here str is the connection string
dim sql as string
dim count as integer
con.open()
sql ="select id,name,mailid from emp"
dim da as new sqldataadapter(sql ,con)
dim ds as new dataset
da.fill(ds,"emp")
gridview1.datasource=ds.tables(0)

if ds.tables(0).rows.count<1 then
lable1.text="No Records found"
else
lable1.visible=false
end if
gridview1.databind()
con.close()


Happy coding,
Ramesh....
