Syntax

[System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue("")]
[System.ComponentModel.Localizable(true)]
public virtual string EmptyDataText { set; get; }

Value

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

The empty data row is displayed in a System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView control when the data source that is bound to the control does not contain any records. Use the GridView.EmptyDataText property to specify the text to display in the empty data row. To control the style of the empty data row, use the GridView.EmptyDataRowStyle property. Alternatively, you can define your own custom user interface (UI) for the empty data row by setting the GridView.EmptyDataTemplate property instead of this property.

Note:

If both the GridView.EmptyDataText and GridView.EmptyDataTemplate properties are set, the GridView.EmptyDataTemplate property takes precedence.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see System.ComponentModel.LocalizableAttribute and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.
