Solution 1

place your webgrid code inside this code block to check if viewbag is null

HTML

@if (ViewBag.ValReceipt != null)
{
    show your webgrid        
}
else
{
    show some message       
}

Thanks for your response, i have tried this but having exception, i tried to google it, but couldnt fix it, the exception it thrown is:

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[SIMSPortal.Payment_History]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'SIMSPortal.Payment_History'.

please i will appreciate if you could assist any further. thanks
