Forms Data Controls :: Replace Dropdown With Read Only Text Options?

I'm using a book to create a shopping site and need to change the following code so that the current dropdown list, of colour options, is replaced by just read only text. I'm a novice and despite best efforts I can't fathom it out. If anyone can change the code for me I would be extremely grateful.

The code below is the code-behind page for a Product List page where I want each product displayed to also display its colour options as just text (I don't need the shopper to select a colour choice until they click through to the detail page)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
public partial class UserControls_ProductsList : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PopulateControls();
}
private void PopulateControls()
{
// Retrieve DepartmentID from the query string
string departmentId = Request.QueryString["DepartmentID"];
// Retrieve CategoryID from the query string
string categoryId = Request.QueryString["CategoryID"];
// Retrieve Page from the query string
string page = Request.QueryString["Page"];
if (page == null) page = "1";
// Retrieve Search string from query string
string searchString = Request.QueryString["Search"];
// How many pages of products?
int howManyPages = 1;
// pager links format
string firstPageUrl = "";
string pagerFormat = "";
// If performing a product search
if (searchString != null)
{
// Retrieve AllWords from query string
string allWords = Request.QueryString["AllWords"];
// Perform search
list.DataSource = CatalogAccess.Search(searchString, allWords,
page, out howManyPages);
list.DataBind();
// Display pager
firstPageUrl = Link.ToSearch(searchString, allWords.ToUpper() == "TRUE", "1");
pagerFormat = Link.ToSearch(searchString, allWords.ToUpper() == "TRUE", "{0}");
}
// If browsing a category...
else if (categoryId != null)
{
// Retrieve list of products in a category
list.DataSource =
CatalogAccess.GetProductsInCategory(categoryId, page, out howManyPages);
list.DataBind();
// get first page url and pager format
firstPageUrl = Link.ToCategory(departmentId, categoryId, "1");
pagerFormat = Link.ToCategory(departmentId, categoryId, "{0}");
}
else if (departmentId != null)
{
// Retrieve list of products on department promotion
list.DataSource = CatalogAccess.GetProductsOnDeptPromo
(departmentId, page, out howManyPages);
list.DataBind();
// get first page url and pager format
firstPageUrl = Link.ToDepartment(departmentId, "1");
pagerFormat = Link.ToDepartment(departmentId, "{0}");
}
else
{
// Retrieve list of products on catalog promotion
list.DataSource =
CatalogAccess.GetProductsOnFrontPromo(page, out howManyPages);
list.DataBind();
// have the current page as integer
int currentPage = Int32.Parse(page);
}
// Display pager controls
topPager.Show(int.Parse(page), howManyPages, firstPageUrl, pagerFormat, false);
bottomPager.Show(int.Parse(page), howManyPages, firstPageUrl, pagerFormat, true);
}
// Executed when each item of the list is bound to the data source
protected void list_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
// obtain the attributes of the product
DataRowView dataRow = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
string productId = dataRow["ProductID"].ToString();
DataTable attrTable = CatalogAccess.GetProductAttributes(productId);
// get the attribute placeholder
PlaceHolder attrPlaceHolder = (PlaceHolder)e.Item.FindControl("attrPlaceHolder");
// temp variables
string prevAttributeName = "";
string attributeName, attributeValue, attributeValueId;
// current DropDown for attribute values
Label attributeNameLabel;
DropDownList attributeValuesDropDown = new DropDownList();
// read the list of attributes
foreach (DataRow r in attrTable.Rows)
{
// get attribute data
attributeName = r["AttributeName"].ToString();
attributeValue = r["AttributeValue"].ToString();
attributeValueId = r["AttributeValueID"].ToString();
// if starting a new attribute (e.g. Color, Size)
if (attributeName != prevAttributeName)
{
prevAttributeName = attributeName;
attributeNameLabel = new Label();
attributeNameLabel.Text = attributeName + ": ";
attributeValuesDropDown = new DropDownList();
attrPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(attributeNameLabel);
attrPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(attributeValuesDropDown);
}
// add a new attribute value to the DropDownList
attributeValuesDropDown.Items.Add(new ListItem(attributeValue, attributeValueId));
}
}
}
