DataGridView System.NullReferenceException On Read Only Values

[schoultzy]

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying to figure this one out for two days now. I have
created a DataGridView which is populated by an ObjectDataSource. My
problem occurs when I attempt to use the Edit feature of the
DataGridView. I have set several of the BoundField elements of the
DataGridView to ReadOnly="True". When I attempt to use the Edit
feature to UPDATE the rows in the DataGridView I get a
System.NullReferenceException for each of the ReadOnly BoundField
elements. When the BoundField is set to ReadOnly="False" the error
does not occur. I am including the code I use to populate the
DataGridView as well as the UPDATE code and the DataGridView ASP.NET
code as well. Thank you for your help in advance.
