you need to provide a link to the context

not sure how you would do this in a component but if it were a class and 
you were calling a method from the page you might do something like

myclass.new(context.current)


and then in the class

you can do context.reponse.write("Hello world")

there is a pointer to a good article on this that i think includes 
components on www.dotnet247.com do a search for context i think they are 
buy a susan somebody or other.
