Hello gerasha2,

I recommend you using the approach suggested by Angel Todorov in the forum post below:

You can choose headerRendering event because it is raised earlier (thus you can avoid rendering the grid before hiding it)

https://www.igniteui.com/help/notfound?aspxerrorpath=/help/api/2012.1/ui.iggrid#events

To hide the grid you can use "ui-iggrid". This class is applied to the top container element

Take a look at the code snippet below :

[code]<style type="text/css">
    .hiddenGrid
    {
        visibility: hidden;
        display: none;
    }
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $("#grid1").live("iggridheaderrendering", function (event, args) {
        if (args.owner.dataSource.dataView().length === 0) {
            $(".ui-iggrid").addClass("hiddenGrid");
        }
    });

</script>[/code]
