Diplay header and footer when gridview is empty

[mcgann]

I have searched everywhere for a solution for this. I have a gridview that is bound to a datatable. The gridview has a footertemplate so i can add new records. The problem I have is when the pageloads the footer is not being displayed when there are no records. Any help with this would be most appreciated.

If the datasource is empty, you may use the EmptyDataTemplate to add a new record.
