Howdy All,

I am wondering if there is a way to find the column index by the header
name.  What I am trying to get away from is using a hardcoded number in
the ItemDataBound event.  Something like this:

private void grdTestScores_ItemDataBound(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
    DataRowView drvData = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
    Button btnDelete;

    if ((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) ||
           (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
    {
        btnDelete = (Button)e.Item.Cells[16].Controls[0];

        if (btnDelete.CommandName == "Delete")
        {
            btnDelete.Attributes.Ad("onclick", "return ConfirmDelete();");
        }

    }
...

I don't want to hardcode the column number 16 in the above example.

Thanks in advance.
