Question

How can I check if a DataGridView contains column \"x\" and column \"x\" is visible?

All I have so far is below.

if (Dgv.Columns.Contain         


        

Answer 1

Firstly verify if the column exists and then you verify its visibility.

Calling the column's property for a column that does not exist will crash.

if (dgv.Columns.Contains("Address")
{
    if ( dgv.Columns["Address"].Visible )
    {

    }
}
