think you should try it again.

(
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/dem...hlighter.aspx). I want to
display 2 columns and allow editing. The only column I want the user to be
able to change is the second column. I made this work via ReadOnly="true"
for the first column.[color=blue][color=green]

values in columns 3 and 4. These columns will mean nothing to the user and
could potentially confuse them. For this reason I need to hide the columns.
So in the DataGrid definition on the .aspx page I added:[color=blue][color=green]
