Thanks for your comments.

I could not make the grid readonly as the user has to edit two of the columns. However I found a solution by putting the DataTable object into a DataView object and using the latter as the DataSource of the grid. The latter has an AllowAdd property and if you set that to False the extra add row at the end of the grid is suppressed.
