Webpart problem

Hi,
I am creating a webpart to be used inside Sharepoint using VS 2005.  I am displaying data from an xml file into an SPGridView.  I wanted to export the grid data into a word document via a button click.  In my button click event, I have this code attached.
When I run this, I'm getting an error:
Control 'ctl00_m_g_5a56b8d7_3b36_448e_af53_9f0f4a315c2c__grid' of type 'SPGridView' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server

For testing, I created a project in VS.Net and put the entire code.  I got the error and search the net and the solution is I need to put:
public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control)
{
}
to tell ASP.Net that there is a control that needs to be rendered at runtime.

I can't put this in my webpart  as I got the error no suitable method found to override.  I am getting the error on the part
oGrid.RenderControl(oHtmlTextWriter)

Can you please help me and If this is not possible, are there alternative ways to output grid data to Word.

Thanks a lot.



void print_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Context.Response.Clear();
    Context.Response.Buffer = true;
    Context.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.doc");
    //Context.Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF7;
    Context.Response.ContentType = "application/msword";
    System.IO.StringWriter oStringWriter = new System.IO.StringWriter();
    System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter oHtmlTextWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(oStringWriter);
    oGrid.RenderControl(oHtmlTextWriter);
    Context.Response.Output.Write(oStringWriter.ToString());
    Context.Response.Flush();
    Context.Response.End();
 }

Looks like you need to add an  tag in the .aspx file of your webpart, enclosing the datagrid tag.

Could you post the code from the .aspx file if there's one of these already?

Hi,  
Thanks for replying. My webpart application is a class, so it does not have an aspx file.  Plus the controls,  SPGridView and button are  built at runtime.
Thanks.
