Do you have a sample of the Class that has some code in its methods?

I want to write a common DataGrid class with MouseUp event as well as some custom method we can call called FormatGrid.

I have this code in the form right now

#region Grid Mouse Up Event

        /// <summary>
        /// Search grid mouse up event.       
        /// </summary>
        private void grdSearch_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            DataGrid.HitTestInfo hti = this.grdSearch.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
            try
            {
                switch (hti.Type)
                {
                    case DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell:
                        {
                            this.grdSearch.Select(hti.Row);
                            _rowNumber = hti.Row;
                            break;
                        }
                    case DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnHeader:
                        {
                            break;
                        }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());

            }
        }
#endregion

And I started to write my class:

{
    public partial class grdOrderDetails:DataGrid 
    {
        private int _rowNumber = 0;
        public int _RowNumber
        {
            get
            {
                return this._rowNumber;
            }
            set
            {              
                this._rowNumber = value;
            }
        }
    }

But not sure how to incorporate the code above into this class.
