I don't want to sound unfriendly, but maybe this question is better suited for the Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 forum?
A GridView has an EmptyDataText property that shows up in the Property Grid.
Alternatively, if you need more control, you can use the <EmptyDataTemplate /> that shows up as an element between the GridView tags.
Cheers,
