You can use the DataGridDesigner class to provide functionality similar to
the default designer action in Visual Studio.
If you just want to render a simulation of a DataGrid, you should emulate
the HTML that is rendered to the browser by ASP.NET. Something I do is to
open the source view of the control as rendered in a browser, and then wrap
the rendered HTML in a StringBuilder or TextWriter to collect the HTML and
return it as the result of the GetDesignTimeHtml.
You can use the GetDesignTimeDataSource to return a collection that can be
used to provide designtime data for your datagrid.
