like below

DlEmp.DataSource = dtEmployeeDetails;
DlEmp.DataBind();

Now you can check

if(DlEmp!=null)
{
  if(DlEmp.Items.Count>0)
  {
    //Code to be executed
  }
  else
  {
    Response.Write("No Data");
  }
}
else
{
  Response.Write("No Data");
}

please let me know if you have any doubt

Hi,

You can find datalist having items or not? using following property

DataList1.Items.Count

Example:

if (DataList1 == null || DataList1.Items.Count == 0)
    Response.Write("Your dataList is EMPTY");
else
    Response.Write("Your dataList contain " + DataList1.Items.Count.ToString() + " item(s)");

If this answer is helpful to you, please provide rating. :)
Thanks,
