_//// in theory we could implement this for zero-length results to bind; would require
//// additional changes, though, to capture a table even when no rows - so not currently provided
Please can you provide it. I try bind Query with grid but SQL table is empty. The GridView is shown nothing
Thanks in advance

Research direction
Read Dapper/SqlMapper.DapperRow.Descriptor.cs and the linked comment about zero-length results. Reproduce a Query against an empty SQL table with grid binding, then trace what metadata is available when no rows are returned. Done means zero-length results provide the information needed for the grid to bind successfully.
