xaml - Show "No record found" message on a WPF DataGrid when it's empty

Question

If there is no record available, I want to add a TextBlock on data grid, below the header, showing the message "No Record Found."

Consider the attached image for reference.

Answer 1

Its been a long time since the question has been posted. But I thought this might be useful to someone else.

<Window.Resources>
   <BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BooleanToVisibilityConverter" />
</Window.Resources>

<DataGrid Name="dgProjects" ItemsSource="{Binding Projects}" AutoGenerateColumns="True" />

<TextBlock Text="Employee has no projects" Visibility="{Binding Items.IsEmpty, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}, ElementName=dgProjects}" />

For simplicity purpose I have set AutoGenerateColumns="True". Please define the columns. This way when a empty datasource is bound, the column names will be shown along with 'Empty row' message.
