Hi Ben,\
You can use this code:\

```
using System;using System.Data;using System.Windows.Forms;using System.Data.SqlClient; namespace WindowsApplication1{    public partial class Form1 : Form    {        public Form1()        {            InitializeComponent();        }         private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            dataGridView1.ColumnCount = 3;            dataGridView1.Columns[0].Name = "Product ID";            dataGridView1.Columns[1].Name = "Product Name";            dataGridView1.Columns[2].Name = "Product Price";            string[] row = new string[] { "1", "Product 1", "1000" };            dataGridView1.Rows.Add(row);            row = new string[] { "2", "Product 2", "2000" };            dataGridView1.Rows.Add(row);            row = new string[] { "3", "Product 3", "3000" };            dataGridView1.Rows.Add(row);            row = new string[] { "4", "Product 4", "4000" };            dataGridView1.Rows.Add(row);            dataGridView1.Rows[1].ReadOnly = true;        }    }}
```
