How can I determine that a column on my gridview is set to readonly in my
codebehind?

In other words I like to find out if a column in my grid is not editable....

thanks

Hi Angel,

I'm intrigued. Of you can only set this at design time and can't do so
at run time then how come you need to test for it?

I've checked the .NET Framework class library reference and sure enough
the read-only property of a column in a Gridview object (which is
declared in Markup) isn't exposed by a DataControlField class member
(the GridView.Columns property is a collection of the foregoing type of
objects).

I will happily stand corrected though.
