Binding empty data source

[User (Old forums)]

Hi,

I bind object which implements IList to DataGrid. If IList.Count > 0 than all work just fine. But when IList.Count = 0 then no columns are displayed in the grid though ShowUnlinkedColumns is set to true. Is it possible to show column headers when data source has no rows?

Best regards,
Sergey

I think the .NET binding mechanism (that is also used by Xceed.Grid), needs at least 1 object, to determine what columns it has to show.
