What about using the Tag property of each control to indicate if it should
remain ReadOnly, you could then test for the value of the Tag in your loop.

If you're using the standard BindingSource, you may find a neat way of
doing this to be the solution where you extend the BindingSource and
make it render the control read-only based on underlying data element
it binds to.

>> With an additional property the code can be written to Enable the control

Good thinking, and probably the same procedure Jeff had in mind. It seems
much more logical now. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the idea until I
seen this example. Thank you. :) As far as standardized goes, I think the
tag property was created to somewhat standardize non-standard "handling."
Give or take...


But for what it's worth, this is my favorite solution so far...

8. CLEAR ALL DATA ON THE FIELDS for data entry (ASP.NET Web program) 

Hi all,

I have a data entry form in ASP.NET  (Web development)  which has some 
fields (field1,..., fieldN) , button ADD THIS RECORD, and button CANCEL.
In button ADD THIS RECORD, I have VB.NET Sub function to add this record 
into the table.  I would like to CLEAR ALL DATA ON THE FIELDS to perform 
next data entry after adding a new record  NOT BY assign the value "" for 
each field, but by one line of code.

For example (in my code) :

    Dim myStr as string="INSERT INTO TABLE1(Col1, Col2,..., ColN) 
VALUES(field1.text, field2.text, ..., fieldN.text)"
    Dim myConnection as ODBCConnection= New ODBCConnection(strConn)
    myConnection.Open()

    myCommand = New OdbcCommand(mystr, myConnection)
    myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
    myConnection.Close()

    field1.text=""      ' I like to use one line of code NOT by the 
assignment value for each field
    field2.text=""
   ......
    fieldN.text=""


    Could you suggest what I need to use for this purpose ?   Thanks in 
advance
