DataGridView prevent edit

[Johnny 0]

Is there a way to prevent edit of some columns in a DataGridView bound to a DataTable? What I need is prevent edit, the user shouldn't have the opportunity to enter in edit mode if the celll belongs to one of the columns I consider "Read Only".

If this helps anybody I captured the DataGridView.CellParsing event and forced a EndEdit() Not very elegant but it prvents user from entering anything

Hi Johnny, Tables(0).Columns(0).ReadOnly= True Now bind this datatable to the Datagridview. The column 0 is readonly and will not enter into edit mode.
