    Loading a layout into the grid will replace any existing layout information. The layout includes the columns and bands, so if you need to add new columns or make sure that some columns are not editable, you need to save a new layout with that information in it - or else you need to re-set those properties and add those new columns in after you load the layout.

    Another option would be to load the layout into an UltraGridLayout variable, instead of  directly into the grid.DisplayLayout. Then you can modify the layout and then use the CopyFrom method to copy the layout into the DisplayLayout.
