Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Library	Object Type	Path to ShowEmptyDataRows
ASP.NET Web Forms Controls	ASPxGridView	.SettingsPager .ShowEmptyDataRows
	GridViewProperties	.SettingsPager .ShowEmptyDataRows
ASP.NET MVC Extensions	GridViewSettings	.SettingsPager .ShowEmptyDataRows
	MVCxGridViewProperties	.SettingsPager .ShowEmptyDataRows

Remarks

The number of rows displayed within a page is specified by the ASPxGridViewPagerSettings.PageSize property. By default, if the number of data rows displayed within the last page fits entirely on the page, the ASPxGridView is automatically resized to hide the empty space (see the image below, the ASPxGridViewPagerSettings.PageSize property is set to 8):

Set the ShowEmptyDataRows property to true to display empty rows. In this case, the grid is not resized.

Web Forms approach:

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="GridView" runat="server">
    <Columns>
    ...
    </Columns>
    <SettingsPager ShowEmptyDataRows=true PageSize="20" />
</dx:ASPxGridView>

MVC approach:

Razor(View)

@Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings => {
    settings.Name = "gridView";
    ...
    settings.SettingsPager.PageSize = 20;
    settings.ShowEmptyDataRows=true;
    ...
}).Bind(Model).GetHtml()
