create div with visible false like below

ASP.NET

<div id="emptydata" visible="false"  runat="server">
      There is no data currently
</div>

before you binding repeater check how many records you have. if no records you can skip data binding to repeater. set the visible true of emptydata div

you can also use header or footer template

C#

public class EmptySource
        {
            public String Message { get; set; }
        }

check if datasource is empty then create instance of EmptySource:-

EmptySource _source = new EmptySource() { Message= "No record found"   };

and set dataSource of 'rpt' with _source like :-
rpt.datasorce = _source;
rpt.databind();

If you have a HeaderTemplate or a FooterTemplate defined, you could add any HtmlControl or ServerControl inside of either of them and then programatically show/hide it in the codebehind.

XML

<asp:Repeater id="Repeater1" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="">
 <HeaderTemplate>
  <h1>My Repeater Data</h1>
  <div id="NoRecords" runat="server" visible="false">
    No records are available.
  </div>
 </HeaderTemplate>
 <ItemTemplate>
 ...
 </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Here's the code behind

C#

protected void Repeater1_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (Repeater1.Items.Count < 1)
    {
        if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Header)
        {
            HtmlGenericControl noRecordsDiv = (e.Item.FindControl("NoRecords") as HtmlGenericControl);
            if (noRecordsDiv != null) {
              noRecordsDiv.Visible = true;
            }
        }
    }
}
