"Such and Such a grid should not be blank when there is no data, it should show the column headers with no rows." How many times have you heard that? Yeah, I've seen it as bugs in the change request system!! Seems like a simple enough request, but trying to deliver it sends you straight into the land of GridView hacking. Oh why was such a simple feature not incorporated into the GridView. Microsoft are you listening. Instead you have to jump hoops. Here are some of those hoops that help you solve...
Googling for some insight on the SPDataSource I came across the blog by the guys at SharePoint Solutions. Its a very usefull programming reference blog. If you are a SharePoint developer check out their blog, because they have some good tips to share, and while the posts may not be many, the content so far is good.

In case some of you missed it, Andrew May has a good post on how to create content type ids for feature definitions.

Its a very good product,...
Bob Mixon pointed out MoonEdit on his blog. Had an hour of fun with this application. I think it has a lot of potential. Technology similar to this is something I would prefer to have in the next version of Visual Studio (I havent checked out 2005 or Team System yet). But imagine the new twist this capability will give to Pair Programming. Ok Pair Programming might not have been the best example. but there would naturually be quite a productivity boom by 'peer-to-peer-ifying' collaborative application...
My earlier frustration with a programming issue I had with SharePoint Portal Server Single Sign On (SPS SSO) came to the attention of very nice chap inside Redmond . All I can say about this chap is that he is very nice, goes by the name of Chris, and works with SharePoint Portal Server; Did I say he was nice guy already? Well anyway he is a nice chap. He was able to throw a suggestion at me that actually bowled me over. It was one of those things that go totally un-noticed until someone points it...
