What if SQL DataSource returns null or nothing

I had a SQLDataSource and wanted to show a message that nothing matches the search if the source didn’t return any rows of data.

here’s how..
add to the sqldatasource

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" OnSelected="SqlDataSource1_Selected" ...

and then in the code behind.

Protected Sub SqlDataSource1_Selected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SqlDataSourceStatusEventArgs)
        If e.AffectedRows < 1 Then
            lblnonefound.Text = "No matches found, Please try again"
            lblnonefound.Visible = True
        Else
            lblnonefound.Text = ""
            lblnonefound.Visible = False
        End If
    End Sub
