I have an edit mode and a browse mode, and in browse mode a user can still select a row in a datagrid, even though it doesn't mean anything in that mode. I could disable the datagrid in browse mode, but that seems visually wrong too.

The checkboxes are not a part of the datagrid, although interacting with them does set the value of the hidden checked column in the associated row of the datagrid data.  I hide this in browse mode and show it in edit mode.
