    Custom DataGrid Control

    I am creating a custom DataGrid control and am running into a problem. When I add my control to the webform, it says "Error Creating Control".
    I know it has something to do with me trying to add default columns, but I don't know why.
    When you drop the ASP.NET DataGrid on a webform it renders with 3 columns (0,1 and 2) then abc in all the cells.
    That is what I am trying to do, but if I don't try to add default columns it just renders as a gray bar (like a user control).
    Any ideas on how I can get it to render like the built in datagrid???

    Here's the code
    VB Code:
    1. Imports System
    2. Imports System.Web
    3. Imports System.Web.UI
    4. Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls
    5. Imports System.ComponentModel
    6. Imports System.Drawing
    7.  
    8. Public Class JHADataGrid
    9.     Inherits DataGrid
    10.  
    11.     Private JHADataGrid As DataGrid
    12.     Private HeaderStyleProps As HeaderStyleProperties
    13.     Private AlternatingItemStyleProps As AlternatingItemStyleProperties
    14.  
    15.     Public Sub New()
    16.         Dim i As Integer
    17.         Dim dgColumn As DataGridColumn
    18.  
    19.         JHADataGrid = New DataGrid
    20.         HeaderStyleProps = New HeaderStyleProperties
    21.         AlternatingItemStyleProps = New AlternatingItemStyleProperties
    22.  
    23.         JHADataGrid.ID = "JHADataGrid1"
    24.         [color=red]This is the area in question
    25.         For i = 1 To 3
    26.             JHADataGrid.Columns.Add(dgColumn)
    27.         Next
    28.        [/color]
    29.  
    30.     End Sub
    31.  
    32.     <DefaultValue(""), _
    33.     Category("HeaderStyle"), _
    34.     PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)> _
    35.     Public Shadows Property [HeaderStyle]() As HeaderStyleProperties
    36.         Get
    37.             Return HeaderStyleProps
    38.         End Get
    39.         Set(ByVal Value As HeaderStyleProperties)
    40.             HeaderStyleProps = Value
    41.         End Set
    42.     End Property
    43.

    48.         Get
    49.             Return AlternatingItemStyleProps
    50.         End Get
    51.         Set(ByVal Value As AlternatingItemStyleProperties)
    52.             AlternatingItemStyleProps = Value
    53.         End Set
    54.     End Property
    55.  
    56.     Protected Overrides Sub render(ByVal writer As HtmlTextWriter)
    57.         EnsureChildControls()
    58.         MyBase.Render(writer)
    59.     End Sub
    60.  
    61.     Protected Overrides Sub CreateControlHierarchy(ByVal useDataSource As Boolean)
    62.  
    63.     End Sub
    64.  
    65.     Protected Overrides Sub PrepareControlHierarchy()

    71.     EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)> _
    72.     Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Font() As FontInfo
