.NET MAUI CollectionView Empty Template

The CollectionView allows you to specify a template that the control will use when the ItemsSource is null or the collection is empty. In this way, you notify the user that no data is available to display.

• EmptyContentTemplate(DataTemplate)—Defines the content of the view which is shown when in the view has no items.

• EmptyContentDisplayMode—Defines the modes for displaying empty content. The property has two modes: - ItemsSourceNull—Displays the empty content view only when the ItemsSource is null. - ItemsSourceNullOrEmpty—Displays the empty content view when ItemsSource is null or when the source is empty (has zero items).
