Thanks for that Masteraco and perhaps I am misunderstanding but wouldn't that make the whole column ReadOnly and not just the cell? What I need is for the cell contained on that particular row at column 8 to be ReadOnly.

How do I make a single cell in a DataTable ReadOnly?

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
