  • Empty Datagrid...

    What to display if a Datagrid is empty ?

    The question sounds obvious, nothing, but if your Datagrid has a fixed size, I think it's a bad idea to have a nice page with an empty space in the middle.

    What are your favorite option?
    - Display a fake grey or pale dtagrid to simulate a disabled datagrid ?
    - Just a message to say that no data are present at the moment ?
    - Something else ?

    The first choice seems for me the one to go, but the difficulty come when you don't know the column details.
