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 simply use DataColumnCollection.IndexOf

So that you can get the index of the required column by name then use it with your row:

row[dt.Columns.IndexOf("ColumnName")] = columnValue;
