Remarks
Use the RowType property to determine the type of row that the GridViewRow object represents. The following table lists the different row type values using the DataControlRowType enumeration.
| Row type | Description |
|---|---|
| DataRow | A data row in the GridView control. |
| Footer | The footer row in the GridView control. |
| Header | The header row in the GridView control. |
| EmptyDataRow | The empty row in the GridView control. The empty row is displayed when GridView control does not have any records to display. |
| Pager | A pager row in the GridView control. |
| Separator | A separator row in the GridView control. |
This property is commonly used to determine a row's type before performing an operation.
