If this is purely an example, then you can call methods in codefiles with the following syntax:

<%= SetGridData(); %>

However, just be aware of the notes I put in the comments above.

Somewhere in the ASPX page's code you should have a reference to the user control object. For example, if the user control is called MyUserControl then somewhere at the class level for the page (possibly in a separate partial class designer file) should be:

protected MyUserControl myUserControl1;

or something similar to that. That's the instance of the user control for the page's class. The page life cycle should instantiate it by the time Page_Load is reached, so from then on you can use that object:

myUserControl1.SetGridData();
