}

Actually i am using ASP.NET 2005 as front end and SQL server 2005 as back end. I will run the page through IIS 6.0 version. Thanks for reply.

In your case, You should right click on grid then go to Edit Template and click on EmptyDataTemplate. Type your message as you want to display on tour website within area provided and check that. I will also try in my project and show my message on my web page.

I think you should check with SQL server 2005. As the below code, It will show message.

Dim con as new sqlconnection(str)
dim sql as string
dim count as integer
con.open()
sql ="select id,name,phoneno from shop"
dim da as new sqldataadapter(sql ,con)
dim ds as new dataset
da.fill(ds,"emp")
gridview1.datasource=ds.tables(0)

if ds.tables(0).rows.count<1 then
lable1.text="No Records found"
else
lable1.visible=false
end if
gridview1.databind()
con.close()
