There are many other ways of doing this, none of which require
subclassing dGridDataTable. It's only because you insisted for some
reason that using a bizobj method to create the dynamic data set was
not possible, nor was using the data set's SQL capabilities feasible
that the thought of putting the dynamic code in the UI became a goal.

A good rule of thumb is that if you constantly find yourself going
through extreme contortions to get something to work, you're going
about it the wrong way.
