Details view readonly field

Question

I have a table for employee details.
I have several columns including personal details with username.
I want employees to edit only personal info and not the username.
I have used details view for that and make username READONLY field.

But my problem is after editing the fields when I click update, the READONLY username field takes NULL value. Why is it so? What can I do to prevent the username taking the NULL value and remain as it is?

I am not able to understand what the problem is.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtStartDate.Attributes.Add("readonly","readonly");
}

If set ReadOnly property like this in code behind now we have a chance to get the data from that read only control without giving chance to user to enter data in textbox. For more you can see this
