I have a Dataset named dt.

I know that there is column named 'User' in the datatable of this dataset.

How can I find out the column number where the column name is 'User'?

Solution 1

Here dt is a DataTable. You can easily get it from DataSet itself (see this[^]), and then,

C#

if (dt.Columns.Contains("User"))
{
        // do something...
}

or else,

C#

int i = dt.Columns.IndexOf("User");
