Empty sharepoint spgridview

Question

I am using an SPGridView to create lists with custom data in a sharepoint website.

When the list has no data, the list headers get hidden and the following message appears:

There are no items to show in this view.

How can I still show the headers if there are no items in the list?

Thanks

SPGridView is inherited from GridView and you can use EmptyDataTemplate where you can override default behaviour and do whatever you want.
