Why empty rows are showing in datagrid

[wwwpl]

My datagrid shows alternating colors for rows that are empty (there is
no data for that row).  My dataprovider has only one data item in it.  
Why are the rows showing?

We think it looks better that way.  Otherwise it could be one or two rows followed by one fat colored empty spot

I would like the same feature as the original poster.

Yes, it looks better with continuous alternating rows, however, it could be misleading to the user that there are all these 'extra' rows that don't have text in them, leading them to believe there was some type of load error.  

I think having the option of both continuous, and non continuous would be the best.  Any ideas how to solve the original poster's problem? I would like to know.
Thanks,
Ryan

override drawRowBackground and watch the parameters.  There might be enough info to tell you that you're drawing behind a "non-row"

Ok, thanks.  I'll have to look into it. If you see any easy way, let me know.

Thanks,

The continuing row colors misleads the user to think they are valid rows and that there was an error because text is not showing up.  A solid color indicates that the data load is complete, and there is no error.
