In this example, I will tell you how to  Bind the empty Grid with Header and Footer when no data in GridView and binding the grid using XML data and performing CURD operations on XML file.

First create a new project one your Visual Basic Studio and then write the following code:
using System; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
using System.Data; 
using System.Linq; 
using System.Web; 
using System.Web.UI; 
using System.Web.UI.WebControls; 
using System.Xml; 
namespace OvidMDSample  
{ 
public partial class Home: System.Web.UI.Page  
{ 
private const string xmlFilePath = "~/XML/HiddenPagesList.xml"; 
public string domainUrl = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority; 
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{ 
if (!IsPostBack) 
{ 
    BindHiddenPages(); 
} 
} 
private void BindHiddenPages()  
{ 
DataSet ds = new DataSet(); 
ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath(xmlFilePath)); 
if (ds != null && ds.HasChanges()) 
{ 
    grdHiddenPages.DataSource = ds; 
    grdHiddenPages.DataBind(); 
}  
else  
{ 
    DataTable dt = new DataTable(); 
    dt.Columns.Add("ID"); 
    dt.Columns.Add("PageName"); 
    dt.Columns.Add("Description"); 
    dt.Columns.Add("PageUrl"); 
    dt.Columns.Add("Address"); 
    dt.Rows.Add(0, string.Empty, string.Empty, string.Empty); 
    grdHiddenPages.DataSource = dt; 
    grdHiddenPages.DataBind(); 
    grdHiddenPages.Rows[0].Visible = false; 
    // grdHiddenPages.DataBind(); 
} 
} 
} 
}
