Adding Datasource Property

[Steven W]

I need help with how to add a DataSource property to a composite control and
then how to assign that property to the datasource of a datagrid.

Thanks

You could use aggregration, e.g.: create a composite control which
contains a datagrid, and add a DataSource property which looks like:

public object DataSource
{
get
{
this.myDataGrid.EnsureChildControls();
return this.myDataGrid.DataSource;
}
set
{
this.myDataGrid.EnsureChildControls();
this.myDataGrid.DataSource = value;
}
}

You should create the datagrid in the CreateChildControls method.

Thanks. That's a better solution than the path I was heading down.
