This code answers your question:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
  <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
      import mx.controls.Alert;
      import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
      [Bindable] private var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([]);
      private function checkDP():void {
        if(ac.length == 0){
          mx.controls.Alert.show("DataGrid dataProvider is empty!");
    ]]>
  </mx:Script>
  <mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{ac}" creationComplete="checkDP()">
    <mx:columns>
      <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="test1"/>
      <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="test2"/>
      <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="test3"/>
      <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="test4"/>
      <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="test5"/>
    </mx:columns>
  </mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Application>
