Narrative:

We were climbing through FL240 to cruise of FL320 when we got chimed and flap fail caution. All flap indication's were flap 0. Reviewed QRH for flap fail 0; contacted dispatch patched to maintenance. We updated information needed to land flap 0. Conditions calm wind; surface dry; 10+ miles visibility. After review with dispatch; I contacted the flight attendant to let her know; and that I would be declaring an emergency with equipment standing by. I told her that I would make a PA shortly before landing to inform the passengers. Declared emergency with approach control. Landed flap 0 with no further problems. After parking I met with fire rescue on the jet bridge stairs and debriefed them. Reset flap controller with maintenance control on phone. Left on time with flap controller deferred no further problem's.
