How can you solve what? Have you considered assigning an empty string to your text control instead of " "?

You could try this...

Let say your gridview is called gvUsers in the RowDataBound method you could try this...

C#

protected void gvUsers_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType != DataControlRowType.DataRow) return;

        DataRow CurrentRow = ((DataRow)sender);
        for (int i = 0; i < CurrentRow.ItemArray.Count(); i++)
            if (CurrentRow.ItemArray[i].ToString() == " ")
                CurrentRow.ItemArray[i] = string.Empty;
    }

Solution 2

You can assign an empty string or some default text in case your column in the database table is having an empty string or null value.
