    I am trying to conditionally change the message that displays when a ListView datasource returns no data.  My EmptyDataTemplate is shown below.

                <EmptyDataTemplate>
                <table id="Table1" runat="server">
                    <tr>
                        <td>&nbsp;</td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td class="nodata">
                            <asp:Label ID="LblNoData" runat="server" Text="This client has no meals. Select one of these options to create meals."></asp:Label>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
            </EmptyDataTemplate>

    I have tried code similar to below in the Databound, Itemdatabaound and Prerender events with no success.

            If Not lvActualMeals.FindControl("LblNoData") Is Nothing Then
            If txtSearchFor.Text <> "" Then
                Dim lbl As Label = CType(lvActualMeals.FindControl("LblNoData"), Label)
                lbl.Text = "The item you searched for was not found in these meals."
            End If
        End If

    You can use the ItemCreated Event to access the controls inside EmptyDataTemplate

        ''' <summary>
    ''' Handles the ItemCreated event of the productList control.
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="sender">The source of the event.</param>
    ''' <param name="e">The <see cref="ListViewItemEventArgs"/> instance containing the event data.</param>
    Protected Sub productList_ItemCreated(sender As Object, e As ListViewItemEventArgs) Handles productList.ItemCreated
        If e.Item.ItemType = ListViewItemType.EmptyItem Then
            Dim lbl As Label = TryCast(e.Item.FindControl("LblNoData"), Label)
            If lbl IsNot Nothing Then
                lbl.Text = "New value"
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
