Method to Find GridView Column Index by Name

Question

I\'m trying to write a small method to loop through and find a GridView Column by its Index, since it can change position based on what might be visible.

Here's a VB version

Protected Function GetColumnIndexByHeaderText(grid As GridView, findHeader As String) As Integer
    Dim i As Integer = 0
    For i = 0 To grid.Columns.Count - 1
        If grid.Columns(i).HeaderText.ToLower().Trim() = findHeader.ToLower().Trim() Then
            Return i
        End If
    Next

    Return -1
End Function
