This sample pack contains a custom web user tool definition file for the Form Designer and the associated ASP.NET code files.

[Download the sample pack](https://app.box.com/s/62hjio7fw06ygezww5zxmqj4yts7jm50)

1. Copy the custom web user control tool definition file (`MyUserControl.txt`) into `\wfgen\App_Data\Templates\Forms\En\Custom\fields`.

2. Copy the custom ASP.NET code files (`MyUserControl.ascx` and `MyUserControl.ascx.cs`) into `\wfgen\WfApps\WebForms`

To test this example, open your process’s Form Designer and add a new `MyUserControl` tool.

Hi,

I was wondering if I could get the ascx. and ascx.cs files for the existing GridView user control? (Would be nice to start from there to create a custom one.) The template is in the expected place, but our server \wfgen\WfApps\WebForms\ folder doesn’t have the default ones.

Thanks!  
Alison
