Not supported in .NET 1.1. You have to use .NET 2.0 or better, which means Visual Studio 2005 or better.

I HIGHLY sugest you upgrade. Nobody uses .NET 1.x anymore unless their hands are tied behind their back and there's a gun to their head.

Solution 1

You can use the Frozen property for the relevant column, like this

C#

this.DataGridView1.Columns["yourColumnName"].Frozen = true;

Frozen was introduced in .NET 2.0. He's using .NET 1.1.

There is no equivilent in .NET 1.1.

Solution 2

Try this:

C#

In RowDataBound event add css to GridView cell:

    protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            e.Row.Cells[0].CssClass = "locked";
        }
    }

If it's not specified, assume everyone who asks a question is using WinForms, not ASP.NET.

I didn't realise VS 2003 was restricted to 1.1, oh well.
