Using a data band its working great if I have data to display but when the datasource is like "Items": [] only a table header above the data band is shown and nothing else, if I change to "Items": [{}] everything works as normal again but as exptected with a zero line.

I have made a minified version of it and added it as an attachment to this post.
Load this as dataset:
Code: Select all
{"customerinvoice": {"Items": [{"ItemText":"The Best Product"}]}, "companysettings": {"CompanyName": "Test Company"}}
It should now look like this:

Replace content in json file with:
Code: Select all
{"customerinvoice": {"Items": []}, "companysettings": {"CompanyName": "Test Company"}}
It should now look like:

- Empty Items

Hello,
You data for the DataBand is empty, please try to set the PrintIfEmpty property for the Header to true.
Thank you.

Ah I see, the header is automatically connected and not showing by default.
