Gridview does not show up if there are no records in the database

Hello,
If there are no records in the database then the Gridview does not show up in the asp page.
Can you help me in giving code atleast to put some message on the page if the gridview does not have any records in the database.

Thanks in advance

Make a label, set it Visble=false. If the Rows.Count in your GridView is zero, display a message that says that there are zero returned records.

Thanks, I could get the message now. Now How do I show the Details grid when there are zero records in the database
and Insert a new record into the database.

I am not able to see the detailsView on the page , when there are no records in the database.

Can you please help me..

Add a button to the EmptyDataRow template. Set the CommandName property to "New" of the button.
