Extending DataGrid

J

jarod

Hello,

I'm having difficulty with trying to extend the
functionality of the DataGrid Control. I created the
child class, but can't figure out how to access all the
functionality of the DataGrid class form the aspx file.
When using the <asp:TemplateColumn> tag, I get the
following error:

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a
resource required to service this request. Please review
the following specific parse error details and modify your
source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Type 'DDW.DDWDataGrid' does not have
a property named 'asp:TemplateColumn'.
