Predefine I set controls to false now I want set each readonly=false by using gridview row index

If it's already false then what is the point of setting the property to false again?

Sorry typing error I have to set it to True.

Okay then set it to true.

If I know how to set it to true whats the reason to post here?

How would you think I could answer that? If you seriously can't figure out how to set a property to true or false especially after being given a link to the property documentation that shows you exactly how to do it, then maybe you should find another hobby. We cannot possibly teach you basic programming skills in a forum posting.

Not exactly sure, but you might have to cast the Control you find in each iteration and then set its ReadOnly property to true if it has one.

I think the right way to go is

C#

foreach (GridviewRow row in gvFormula.Rows)
{
    //should you have a TextBox called txt1
    ((TextBox)row.FindControl("txt1")).ReadOnly = true;
    //or if you need invisible
    ((TextBox)row.FindControl("txt1")).Visible = false;
    
    //and so on and so on...
}

You can also use it on RowDataBound event if you need
