FindControl and Inheritance

In V1.1 I used an inherited class – BaseGrid - to process initialization and
events for a DataGrid control. The actual control is defined in the pages
that inherit from the BaseGrid class and they all use the same control ID.
In the Page-Init event in BaseClass I used FindControl with the controls
common name to get the actual control at runtime.
Using almost the same set-up in V2 never finds the control. I have switched
to a GridView control rather than a DataGrid but otherwise the code is the
same.
I have viewed BaseGrid ‘this’ in the Watch window and can’t see the GridView
or any other server controls anywhere in any Controls collection. Any ideas
on what code to use?
