But if the user can't save, aren't all user inputs readonly? The only other way would be to iterate over all controls and set databound controls to readonly.

PS, your user controls should have public properties for things like ReadOnly. The user control can then manipulate its contained controls as required. I only mention this because I'm dealing with some usercontols where the developers manipulated contained controls in form code, wreaking encapsulation.
