Hey Johan: Thanks a lot for good advice. Unfortunately, I was unable make a particular row uneditable. Below is my code. Public Function CreateData(ByVal row As Integer, ByVal col As Integer) dt = New DataTable("sublayers") Dim i, j, k As Integer ' col is used for determing column headers. dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Sublayer No", GetType(String))) dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Material Set No", GetType(String))) dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Thickness (m)", GetType(String))) dt.Columns(2).ReadOnly = True For i = 1 To row dr = dt.NewRow() For j = 0 To col - 1 dr(j) = " " Next dt.Rows.Add(dr) Next i 'creating a datase Dim ds As New DataSet ds = New DataSet ds.Tables.Add(dt) 'adding the table to dataset DataGrid1.SetDataBinding(ds, "sublayers") I'm using this function to dynamically create datagrids. I neber got options to make rows uneditable. Can you advise how shall do this. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi all: Is there any way to make a particular item of the datagird unediatble ( ie a cell) ? I'm using VB.NET 2003. I'd appreciate your help in advance.

Hey thanks a lot! I also thought in similar way that you thought. I still got some weird problems. I'm not allow to make the whole column unediatable. I can make only some of the cells of the column. I'd appreciate if you could give me an idea how I can make a praticular cell unediatable rather than by whole coulumn. I'm sorry for my unclear questions last time. Thanks many for your help in advance

Hey: I tried as per your suggestions but it doesn't work out. Same error. I'm getting really frustrated.

By default it is taking taking the filpath of ../bin and my input file is inside bin. However, I tried with absolute path too. It doesn't make any differnce.

The exact code that I wrote as per Christian's suggestion is: Dim yourParamString As String = "input1.sa" Process.Start("SH_EVP2.exe" + yourParamString) The exception that I got while executing the application is: The system can't find the file specified. However I have input1.sa in the bin directory. I felt "SH_EVP2.exe" + yourParamString string got concanated and come up with new file name. Thus I'try the other one that I've posted above. Thanks for your help
