I have a server control which is used on various ASP.NET pages.
Within this control, I would like to use ASP.NET AJAX PageMethods to
update data on the control.  The problem is, the PageMethod wrapper
that is typically generated when the WebMethod is included on a Page
isn't being created when the WebMethod is in the control.  Here's a
sample of the code...

C#:
        [WebMethod]
        public static string GetGreeting()
        {
            return "Hello World";
        }

When the WebMethod is declared in the Page class, I can access this
using PageMethods.GetGreeting(...); from my JavaScript.  Now that I've
moved the declaration to the Web Control, PageMethod.GetGreeting(...);
causes an error since it's not declared.

Is there any way to get this work?  Seems like there should be, I
can't imagine that I have to declare the WebMethod within the Page
only.

Thanks in advance for your help.

yep - page methods can only exist on the page - frustrating isn't it ?
I gave up on pagemethods for this very reason and went to a 'local' 
webservice.
add a .asmx to your site and use that instead of any pagemethods - makes 
things simpler and and the rendered page a lot less cluttered.
