Preventing Edits to specific rows in DataGridView

I want to prevent the user from editing or deleting the first three rows of a datagridview.

How can I do this?

From stackoverflow

• One way to do it is to capture _CellBeginEdit event, check if any edits on the targeted row are allowed, and cancel event if no edits allowed:

  private void dataGridViewIndexesSpecs_CellBeginEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e) {

          if (e.RowIndex <= 3)
              e.Cancel = true;
  
      }
  

  Malfist : will that prevent them from deleting it too?

  Malfist : It does not prevent deletion

• Solution:

  private void dataGridView3_CellBeginEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e) {
      if (e.RowIndex < 3) {
          e.Cancel = true;
      }
  }
  
  private void dataGridView3_UserDeletingRow(object sender, DataGridViewRowCancelEventArgs e) {
      if (e.Row.Index < 3) {
          e.Cancel = true;
      }
  }
