datagridview1.rows=0

[mustaffa hasan]

DataGridView1.Rows(Index).Visible = False

DataGridView1.Columns(Index).Visible = False

[mustaffa hasan]

next we have the explanation
 DataGridView1.Rows.Add(row)
 row = New String() {"2", "Product 2", "2000"}
 DataGridView1.Rows.Add(row)
row = New String() {"3", "Product 3", "3000"}
 DataGridView1.Rows.Add(row)
 row = New String() {"4", "Product 4", "4000"}
 DataGridView1.Rows.Add(row)
 DataGridView1.Rows(1).Visible = False

sure, loop through the rows, and check the columns you have a condition, and set ReadOnly to true:

 For Each row As DataGridViewRow In dgv.Rows
    If row("ConditionColumnName").Value.ToString() = "your condition" Then
        row.[ReadOnly] = True
        'you can even color the row differently
        'like:
        row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red
    Else
        row.[ReadOnly] = False
            'normal color
        row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.White
    End If
Next

Mitja - when I copied ur code I get an error that 'Class 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRow' cannot be indexed because it has no default property.'

See what I have done in my code.....

  Try
            Dim myCommand As SqlCommand
            myCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT  * FROM PurchaseOrder ", Connection)
            Dim dt As New DataTable
            dt.Load(myCommand.ExecuteReader)
            If dt.Columns.Count <= 0 Then
                MsgBox("No records found")
            Else
                With DataGridView1
                    .AutoGenerateColumns = True
                    .DataSource = dt
                End With
            End If
            For Each row As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView1.Rows
                If row("ConditionColumnName").Value.ToString() = "your condition" Then
                    row.[ReadOnly] = True
                    'you can even color the row differently
                    'like:
                    row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red
                Else
                    row.[ReadOnly] = False
                    'normal color
                    row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.White
                End If
            Next
        Catch ex As Exception
            'Debug.Print("Exception: ")
            Throw ex
        End Try

I created a DataGridView control with 2 columns and added a few records, then set row 2 to read only and modified the background colour with the following.

Private Sub btnPopulate_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPopulate.Click

    grdView.Rows.Add({"George", "Jones"})
    grdView.Rows.Add({"Fred", "Flintstone"})
    grdView.Rows.Add({"John", "Franks"})
    grdView.Rows.Add({"Arthur", "Green"})

    grdView.Rows(2).ReadOnly = True

    For Each cell As DataGridViewCell In grdView.Rows(2).Cells
        cell.Style.BackColor = Color.LightGray
    Next

End Sub

Hello Friends....I got it working....
Have a look at the code....

'Open Connection

'Retrive records from database
Dim myCommand1 As New SqlCommand
With myCommand1
     .CommandText = "SELECT * FROM TableName"
     .CommandType = CommandType.Text
     .Connection = Connection
End With

'Fill the datagridview with the records
Dim dt As New DataTable
dt.Load(myCommand1.ExecuteReader)
If dt.Columns.Count > 0 Then
    With dgvDetails
         .DataSource = dt
    End With
End If

'Set readonly values to particular cell and set background color
For RCnt As Integer = 0 To dgvDetails.Rows.Count - 1
    If dgvDetails.Rows(RCnt).Cells("Status").Value = "InProgress" Then
          dgvDetails.Rows(RCnt).ReadOnly = False
          dgvDetails.Rows(RCnt).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.YellowGreen
    ElseIf dgvDetails.Rows(RCnt).Cells("Status").Value = "Received" Then
          dgvDetails.Rows(RCnt).ReadOnly = True
          dgvDetails.Rows(RCnt).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Pink
    End If
Next

'Close connection
