Hi,
I have been trying to use the GridView control of .Net.
I use the ObjectDataSource, and try to use the Update.

If I don't make any changes to the gridview the Update is working correctly. But when I set one of the fields to ReadOnly it gives error.

I have a TimeStamp field which holds the last update time of the record, so I have to make it ReadOnly to the user and also update it with System.DateTime.Now value.

Is there a way to set this value?

Thanks in advance,
codddy

Hi
You can set readonly attribute from server side

C#

txtValidTill.Attributes.Add("readonly", "readonly");

Please do let me know, if you have any doubt.
