Problems Adding a EditCommandColumn Programatically

[prgmrgirl]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a datagrid at load time and everything is working except the adding of the EditCommandColumn. Here is my code for adding it:

Public Function CreateButtonColumn() As EditCommandColumn
Dim editCol As New EditCommandColumn

editCol.ButtonType = ButtonColumnType.LinkButton
editCol.EditText = "Edit"
editCol.CancelText = "Cancel"
editCol.UpdateText = "Update"
editCol.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center

Return editCol
End Function

Then, in the calling routine I add it to the datagrid:
'add the button column
dg.Columns.Add(CreateButtonColumn())

I am getting the following message and not quite understanding what's going on:

'DataGridLinkButton' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server

What does this mean? What am I doing wrong? (or not doing?)

Thanks!

Where is the code that adds the dg to the form?
