get index of DataTable column with name

Question

I have some code which sets the value of cells in a DataRow by column name i.e.

row[\"ColumnName\"] = someValue;

I want to also set the val

Answer 1

You can use DataColumn.Ordinal to get the index of the column in the DataTable. So if you need the next column as mentioned use Column.Ordinal + 1:

row[row.Table.Columns["ColumnName"].Ordinal + 1] = someOtherValue;
