System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   DetailsView Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

Specifies the template to use for an empty data row when the data source bound to a DetailsView control returns empty, or contains no data.

<asp:detailsview ... >

   <itemtemplate>
      ... template definition here
   </itemtemplate>

</asp:detailsview>

An ITemplate interface that defines how an empty data row in the DetailsView control is rendered.

The property is read/write with no default value.

The empty data row is displayed in a DetailsView control when the data source that is bound to the control does not contain any records.

To specify a template for the empty data row, declare an <EmptyDataTemplate> element between the opening and closing tags of the control. You can then list the contents of the template between the opening and closing <EmptyDataTemplate> ... </EmptyDataTemplate> tags.

To control the style of the empty data row, use the EmptyDataRowStyle property.

Alternatively, you can use the built-in UI for the empty data row by setting the EmptyDataText property instead of this property.

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