Empty DataGrid Formatting

[Matthew Wieder]

Hi - I have a datagrid that has a black header and the rows alternate
white and gray. The problem is that until items are added to the grid,
the grid appears as a large black rectangle, which is quite ugly. The
black area is larger then it is once an item is added. How can I solve
this problem either by:
A) Having only the header black and the rest of the empty block white or
gray (preffered solution)
B) Having the color gray or white until an item is added and then
changing to my default template colors - this is less ideal since I
would aslo then have to keep track of if all times are deleted and I go
back to the empty state.

thanks!

I believe you go into the Property Builder if it's an ASP.NET grid and
explicitily set the Header height....

I'm not sure what version of VS you're using, but in mine, property
builder doesn't allow setting of the height for the header...
anyone else?
