C# inheriting a Gridview

Hi I need to build a gridview control with a fixed header and scrolling contents - I have most of the code written but I would like to create a web user control from this - I do not want to compile this into a DLL just keep and use it (with source code) in the project. This project is for a big multinational customer and they have a strict approval process for Third party tools, so I have to roll my own. I seem to have problems using the correct base class - see my code below. I have tried to remove the Compiler errors I got by adding a name space but I get conflicting error messages about Namespaces vs. TagName.

With the usage below I am getting Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'uc1'. If I leave out the namespace from the Register line I get Element Scrollgridview is not a known element.

I am not sure whether the CodeFileBaseClass points to the correct Control, should I point it to the gridview? in which  assembly is this?

The syntax for assemplies is very complicated and not easy to understand for a C# newbie (I have done C++ for a lot of years 10 years ago, we used to program Windows based on a simple windows API - Petzold...)
