Problem displaying ASP.NET GridView inside an AjaxToolkit Popup

Is there a way to display the gridview header, etc. inside AjaxToolkit popup, even when the grid has no data?

I'd like to have users see at least the Gridview header, so they know the app is working, rather than a completely blank screen.

    Solution: I found out that the GridView "ShowHeaderWhenEmpty=true" works only when there is a databound!
