Try this thread,
How to disable right click on asp.net web page using JavaScript | Disable mouse right click on webpage[^]

Include this javascript in the head portion:

JavaScript

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Disable
function disableselect(e){
return false
}
function reEnable(){
return true
}
//if IE4+
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")
document.oncontextmenu=new Function ("return false")
//if NS6
if (window.sidebar){
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onclick=reEnable
}
//-->
</script>
