You can find many examples in the Declare Conditional Appearance Rules in Code topic. See these examples in the Feature Center demo installed with the XAF in the %PUBLIC%\Documents\DevExpress Demos 24.1\Components\XAF\FeatureCenter.NETFramework.XPO folder, or refer to the Feature Center demo online.

The example below demonstrates how to disable the NickName property editor in the Contact Detail View.

using System;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Actions;
using DevExpress.Persistent.Base;
// ...
public class Contact : BaseObject {
    // ...
    [Appearance("NickNameDisabled", Context = "Contact_DetailView", AppearanceItemType = "ViewItem", Enabled = false)]
    public virtual string NickName { get; set; }
}

// Make sure that you use options.UseChangeTrackingProxies() in your DbContext settings.
