By default the datagrid is binded with the datatable/dataset. Thus if no record is returned from the database, your datatable has no rows present and thus nothing is displayed as a part of the gridvew. This is something as datagrid works.

Now, if you want to display header:
Before binding the the datatable with the gridview - check the row count. If that is zero then add a row explicitly from your side with lets say empty valid values. Now bind this new updated datatable to the gridview. You can see the gridview with headers.

you can even add a some text to the cells of the row if needed -something like 'No Records found' (this will need further code to be written like removing the controls in the cells and adding a text)
