show header when gridview is empty

[Guest]

is there a way to show the header even when GridView is empty? the page looks
kind of bare with just empydatatext or emptyrowtemplate.

Thanks.

John,
that link was very helpful.

As a related issue, I'd like to add a final row at the end of the GridView,
after the footer, pager, and all other rows. I'd like to have something
similar to the bottom status bar on IE or Win Explorer.

Using the Footer template for this is not an option since I will get a row
with a cell for each column on the grid. And I'd like to have something more
customizable.

Ideally it would be Templated Row but on a first try I'd go with a one-cell
only row.

The problem I have is how to get a reference to the current table of rows so
I can add another row at the end.

Thanks,
Vicenç
