Hi,

You cannot make one column as readonly if datagridview on a whole is set as readonly.
So, firstly you need to set that to

C#

dataGridView1.ReadOnly =false;

than set all the columns in your code as readonly.

C#

foreach (DataGridViewColumn dgvc in dgSearchedResults.Columns)
                    {
                        dgvc.ReadOnly = true;
                    }

follow that by setting the readonly property of required column to false.

C#

dataGridView1.Columns("ColumnName").ReadOnly = false;
