How to set column as readonly on Gridview?

GridView template Column conditionally set to readonly

• Is there a way to set a Template Column on a GridView to readonly from code behind. Like if test for Admin=true make readonly= false else readonly = true?

• Answer:

  There is no direct way to set Gridview column to readonly. But You can set the controls to readonly that are in that column in RowDataBound event of your Gridivew. e.g. protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Edit || e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Alternate) { TextBox txt = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("ControlID"); txt.ReadOnly = true; } }
