In the <asp:boundcolumn> tag, put readonly="True"

Eg.

<asp:boundcolumn datafieldid="ID" headertext="ID" readonly="True" />

Hope this helps,

appreciate your reply.
I do not have bound columns.
They are autogenerated.
thanks

You can still use this tag. It will override the autogenerated column. The
rest of the columns will still be automatically generated.

Eg.

<asp:datagrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server" width="100%" cellpadding="2"
autogeneratecolumns="True">
<columns>
<asp:boundcolumn datafield="ID" headertext="ID" readonly="True"/>
</columns>
</asp:datagrid>

Thanks. But i see the duplicate columns. since they are
autogenerated also. Is there a way i can avoid this.?
thanks

I've tried a few things, and there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. If
you want to make a column readonly, you have to define each column to be
bound using the <asp:boundcolumn> tag, and set the readonly attribute to
true for the column you want to be readonly.

Thanks for helping.
Finally,i figured out. To make this happen
we have to make the textboxes in the corresponding column
as read-only.
Thanks

Did you still use the autogenerate feature when doing this?

If possible, post code please. I'm interested to see how you done that.

Cheers,
