Hi,

I am using a nested ajax accordian control.

i.e First accordian controls and inside that the second accordian control and inside the second one there is a gridview.

How can i display a custom message like "no records found" if the datasource to second accordian contol(which is inside first accordian control) is null.

Is there any property like emptydatatext in the accordian as we have in gridview control.

I got it working as shown below .

AjaxControlToolkit.Accordion grd = new AjaxControlToolkit.Accordion();
                grd = (AjaxControlToolkit.Accordion)e.AccordionItem.FindControl("Accordion2");
                TemplateBuilder head = new TemplateBuilder();
                TemplateBuilder content = new TemplateBuilder();
                if (myDataset.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
                {
                    grd.DataSource = myDataset.Tables[0].DefaultView;
                    grd.DataBind();
                }
                else
                {
                   
                    //head.AllowWhitespaceLiterals();
                    //head.AppendLiteralString("Sorry no records Found!!!");
                    content.AllowWhitespaceLiterals();
                    content.AppendLiteralString("<b>Sorry no records Found!!!</b>");

                    //Create the Pane and set the head and content to your templatebuilders 
                    AjaxControlToolkit.AccordionPane test = new AjaxControlToolkit.AccordionPane();
                    test.ID = "test";
                   // test.Header = head;
                    test.Content = content;

                    //Add Pane To Accordion 
                     grd.Panes.Add(test);

                }
                
                //Accordion2.DataSource = myDataset.Tables[0].DefaultView;
                //Accordion2.DataBind();
            }

used template builder to create a new template with default content text set to "No records found". then applying this template to an dynamically created accordian pane and then adding this pane to the accordian present in the page

Hi,

At the time of binding uour data control just set the text in first accordian control.

Bind your datacontrol from back end in pageload method .

First check fetched data is empty or not.If empty set text in first accordian panel

I hope you understood what I said

All the Best
