| Inline |
<asp:formview emptydatatext = strText ... > |
| Script |
FormView.EmptyDataText = strText |
| strText |
String specifying the text displayed in the empty data row of a FormView control. |
The property is read/write with no default value.
Use the EmptyDataText property to specify or determine the text displayed in the empty data row of a FormView control. The empty data row is displayed in a FormView control when the data source that is bound to the control does not contain any records.
To control the style of the empty data row, use the EmptyDataRowStyle property.
Alternatively, you can define your own custom user interface ( UI ) for the empty data row by setting the EmptyDataTemplate property instead of this property.
NOTE: If both the EmptyDataText and EmptyDataTemplate properties are set, the EmptyDataTemplate property takes precedence.
The following example demonstrates how to use the EmptyDataText property to specify the text to display when the data source bound to a FormView control returns empty, or contains no data.
<asp:formview id = "EmployeeFormView"
datasourceid = "EmployeeSource"
allowpaging
datakeynames = "EmployeeID"
emptydatatext = "No employees found."
runat = "server">
