Answer 2

You mentioned that you cannot use readonly because it is not submitted back during a POST back. Actually the readonly attribute, as in

<input ... readonly="readonly" />

is submitted back to the server during a POST. The disabled attribute, as in

<input ... disabled="disabled" />

is not submitted backing durring a POST.

Answer 3

You can submit disabled controls by putting this line in the Page_Load:

Page.Form.SubmitDisabledControls = true;

for ASP.NET 2.0
