If you are using .Net framework 4.0, set ShowHeaderWhenEmpty[^] property of the GridView to True. That's all required to show the header even if the datasource is empty.

For other versions, checkout this blog post - A more elegant solution to display GridView header and footer when the data source is empty[^]

Hope this helps!
