I am trying to set the readonly status of fields in a DetailsView control
dynamically at runtime.
I have attempted this using the ItemCreated event ( see bottom ).
This works fine for BoundFields , but there is no ReadOnly property for
TemplateFields.
For template fields i tried getting the control to use the ItemTemplate as
opposed to the EditTemplate - with no success.

So my question is - how do we dynamically select DetailsView the field
templates at runtime ?

protected void DetailsView1_ItemCreated( object sender , EventArgs e )
{

   if ( !RestrictFields )
       return;

   DetailsView dv = sender as DetailsView;
   foreach (DataControlField field in dv.Fields)
   {
       switch(field.SortExpression)
       {
           // fields that should always be updateable
           case "Field1":
           case "Field2":
           break;
           default:
               if ( field is BoundField )
               {
                   ( (BoundField) field ).ReadOnly = true; ;
               }
               else if ( field is TemplateField )
               {
                   TemplateField tfield = field as TemplateField;

                   switch(1){
                       case 1:
                           // this causes control to recreate this field
resulting endless loop into here
                            if ( tfield.EditItemTemplate != null)
                                tfield.EditItemTemplate = null;
                           break;

                       case 2:
                           // this causes viewstate error on postback
                           if (
tfield.ItemTemplate!=tfield.EditItemTemplate)
                                tfield.EditItemTemplate =
tfield.ItemTemplate;
                           break;
                   }
               }
              break;
       }
   }
