Any tricks to protect data in GridView from being copied?

[Hooyoo]

Hi, everyone here.
I need to protect my data in GridView from being copied, do you guys
have any good methods?

Thanks in advance.

The only guaranteed to work method is to not send it to the browser in
the first place! You can use various javascript tricks to make it
harder for them but ultimately they just have to look in the source to
get the data if you go down that route. Plus, these methods are more
likely to annoy your users.

......and whats to stop them simp,y printing the screen, or retyping the
information.

Once the data is delivered, be it via a datagrid or another source, you
should consider it vulnerable.

As we've both said above, anything that is published to your website
is available for anyone to look at and ultimately retrieve the data.
There is nothing you can do about this apart from not publish it.
