How to lock the text of the TextBox control?

[Quentin Huo]

Hi:

I programmingly created a TextBox control, as:

TextBox tbPublisher = new TextBox();

tbPublisher.ID="thepublisher";

tbPublisher.Text="Quentin";
I don't want others to modify the text of this control, how can I do?

I tried making it be 'readonly', by adding:

tbPublisher.ReadOnly=true;
But the text area will be empty (nothing show up in the text box).

What can I do?

Thanks
