Benefits

1 - Standard of software factory

2 - Visual inheritance (your controls childs inherits the bahivor and visual design

3 - Standard of code

4 - Over reutilization

Conclusion

Highly indicated for it manufactures of software

Step 1

Create WebControlLibrary and add source code

To personalize all the functionalities of its grid, for example

using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data; 
using System.Collections; 
using System.IO;

			this.SelectedItemStyle.Font.Bold = true;			
			this.SelectedItemStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
			this.SelectedItemStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName("#000099");			
			
			//personalize AlternatingItemStyle
			this.AlternatingItemStyle.Font.Name = "Tahoma";
			this.AlternatingItemStyle.Font.Size = 8;			
			this.AlternatingItemStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
			this.AlternatingItemStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.WhiteSmoke;
			
			//personalize ItemStyle
			this.ItemStyle.Font.Name = "Tahoma";
			this.ItemStyle.Font.Size = 8;			
			this.ItemStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
			this.ItemStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;

			//personalize HeaderStyle
			this.HeaderStyle.Font.Name = "Tahoma";
			this.HeaderStyle.Font.Size = 8;
			this.HeaderStyle.Font.Bold = true;
			//this.HeaderStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGray;
			this.HeaderStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGray;

			//personalize PagerStyle
			this.PagerStyle.Font.Name = "Tahoma";
			this.PagerStyle.Font.Size = 8;
			this.PagerStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGray;

			//personalize Paging
			this.AllowPaging = true;
