Is there any way I can get index (position) of a column in an ASP .NET 2.0
GridView by referencing the column's name, either by using the DataField or
HeaderText properties? A small code snippet would be greatly appreciated!
I have tried with no luck so far.

Thanks!
 
Never fails, I figured it out today:

foreach (DataControlField col in GridView.Columns)
{
if (col.HeaderText == "column name")
{
int colPos = GridView.Columns.IndexOf(col)
