Overriding gridview class asp.net

asp.net noob here. I'm trying to override/extend Gridview for paging as specified in this topic: Problem with Efficient Gridview paging without datasource control

code-behind:

namespace MyCode
{
    public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
    ....
    }
}
namespace cly.Web.CustomControls
    {
         public class clyGridView : GridView
         {
          ...code
         }
    }

How would I declare this new gridview in my .aspx file? I have tried using the class as 

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="MyCode._Default" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="cly.Web.CustomControls" %>    
...
<asp:clyGridView ID="MyResults" runat="server"> </asp:clyGridView>

but that doesn't work and I get this error

The type or namespace name 'clyGridView' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web.UI.WebControls' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

If your goal is only to make the paging efficient, you should only create a custom datasource.

Here is a tutorial that teaches you how to do it.

Creating a custom girdview is not needed.

If you implement the datasource properly, gridview will bind to it perfectly and you will get the efficient paging you desire.

You need to register a tag prefix for your custom control.

Add

<%@ Register tagprefix="cly" namespace="cly.Web.CustomControls" %>

to your page and use the tag prefix with your custom control

<cly:clyGridView ID="MyResults" runat="server"> </cly:clyGridView>
