Hello All ,

I have developed one C# windows application to enter member collection in database through CSV file.

I am using one datagridview to add those member name which are not register in database same like QUICK REGISTER . I am prompting user that listed members id in data grid is missing in database .

I want to provide the lock to this grid for the following issues :
1) grid have two column ID and name . here ID is non-changeable parameter
but still user can change it because id cell is editible. I tried to set Editable property of grid to true but it also restrict user to changes or enter member name.
2) Whenever user click on name name to change it. Grid itself add one blank row at the end.

Please let me know how to overcome this issues.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for quick reply . I tried this option but it removes all the rows which I have added through . I need those rows to be display to user. Please do suggest in same way...

Add new rows with separate method. It isn't nicest solution, but it works.

Thanks Abhinav , Previosuly I had added the rows in grid and then set up this property to falso which causes deletion of rows . Now I did to set this property to falso at first and then I have added the rows which result into what I actually need .
