you can set column fields to read only as below :
frmNew.DataGridView1.Columns(0).ReadOnly
= True
Replace 0 by Column number or column name.

the ...Columns(0) is not working, instead i changed it to Columns[0] and the build was successful
i did your suggestion, but it didn't worked.
but when i ran the form, and fired the event,
The columns still didn't changed to ReadOnly = true
