Custom Control from GridView - OldValues/NewValues not showing

[Ryan]

I am trying to create a custom control that would allow an
administrator to update user email addresses and to lock/unlock
accounts. The problem is that oldvalues and newvalues event arguments
of the onupdate command are blank when the control is used, making it
difficult to determine whether a value change has occured that
requires and update. I have an idea as to a way to do a workaround
using the view state, but I am curious as to what might be going
wrong. I also thought that people might find the code to-date helpful
in some of their projects:

If anyone knows why the oldvalues and newvalues aren't getting passed,
please let me know! Here is the code:

<ToolboxData("<{0}:EditUserControl runat=server></
{0}:EditUserControl>")> _
Public Class EditUserControl
Inherits GridView

Private mbrshpConnectionString As String
Private mbrshpDataSource As New SqlDataSource

Private bfUserName As New BoundField
Private bfEmail As New BoundField
Private chkbxfIsLockedOut As New CheckBoxField
Private cfCommand As New CommandField

<Browsable(False)> _

Stop
EnsureChildControls()
Return mbrshpDataSource.ID
End Get
End Property

<Browsable(False)> _

End Get
End Property

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
AutoGenerateColumns = False
mbrshpDataSource.ID = "mbrshpDataSource"
If MyBase.Columns.Count = 0 Then
cfCommand.ButtonType = ButtonType.Button
cfCommand.EditText = "Edit"
cfCommand.UpdateText = "Update"

End If

End If

Page.Response.Write(e.OldValues(i).ToString)
Next
For i = 0 To e.NewValues.Count - 1
Page.Response.Write(e.NewValues(i).ToString)
Next

End If

End If

mbrshpDataSource.SelectParameters.Add("ApplicationName",

mbrshpDataSource.SelectParameters.Add("PageSize",

My thought for a work around was to add the old items from my control
at the edit event and persist them in the control state. This works
for the old items. But the new values are also not being passed and I
do not know how to get the values from the control once the update
event has fired. The control comes over with no rows... Does anyone
have any ideas as to how I might get the entered values from the
gridview?
