Empty Recordset

New to Reporting Services.
I have written a stored procedure which I call from a report built with RS.
Certain parameters being passed to the procedure does not materialize a
record set, therefore, the report comes up blank, with no labels etc. What I
need to do is detect an empty record set, from within the report, and set
default values so the report does not appear blank. I have tried the
IsNothing function within each text boxes expressions, however, it does not
work. Has anyone run into this and if so, would you be so kind to provide a
solution?
Regards,
Fred

FredHi,
maybe you can use the NoRows property of your table to display the desired
information?

Thank you for responding. I am not familiar with the NoRows property, do you
have an example? I tried searching the RS BOL but came up empty.

You could modify your stored procedure to test whether or not you
retrieve records depending on the parameters you pass. If the query in your
stored procedure does not return records, then you can pass a single record
with the default values in a Select statement, that you want to show in the
report...
Cheers,
Daniel.

can specify a value in the table's "Properties" (under "Data") for the case
when there is no row to display.
