>Not strange at all (since it's not really a requirement as much as a "nice to have"). To be honest, I doubt I would have noticed something like that if I was using the class - I tend to type that kind of thing inside of the aspx code editor, not via the property sheet.

I sent Scott an e-mail, but in the meantime I'm back to square one with the problems :(

Did I do something wrong? I added the class to my App_Code. I added/removed this library from the Toolbox multiple times.

If I try to add a new reference in the TestPage

< %@ Register Assembly="skmControls2" Namespace="skmControls2" TagPrefix="shm" % >


    <shm:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" 
        AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="School,siteID" 
        DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" ArrowDownImageUrl="~/images/DownArrow.GIF" 
        ArrowUpImageUrl="~/images/UpArrow.GIF">
        <Columns>
            <asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="School" HeaderText="School" ReadOnly="True" 
                SortExpression="School" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="siteID" HeaderText="siteID" ReadOnly="True" 
                SortExpression="siteID" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="UpdateRef" HeaderText="UpdateRef" 
                InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="UpdateRef" />
        </Columns>
    </shm:GridView>
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" 
        ConnectionString="< %$ ConnectionStrings:FCCMSConnectionString % >" 
        SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Schools]"></asp:SqlDataSource>

I keep getting errors.

If I comment the references and revert back to ASP grid, the project build OK and I can display the page, but no sorting/highlight.

How can I make this beast to work? Should I try to adjust the namespace - this trick seemed to work yesterday...
