column index for grids

I have noticed that for the databound grid the column index begins at 1 and the row index begins at 0. This is a bit different from the VS.Net 03 grid where the column index begins at 0. Can anyone explain why Syncfusion chose to begin the column index at 1 instead of 0?

Hi Michael, the grid considers row headers and column headers to be cells just like any other. They only are cells with CellType = "Column Header" / "Row Header". The cell type gives them the header-like look. To prevent them from scrolling the first row and column is always frozen. Column 0 / Row 0 gives easy access to the header cells.

Thank you Stefan! For my future reference is this information documented somewhere? As you can probably tell I am a newbie to syncfusion so any pointers would help. - Michael >Hi Michael, > >the grid considers row headers and column headers to be cells just like any other.

Michael, In the Users Guide there is a section Features in Depth\Working with Rows and Columns that has several sections including sections on Hiding rows and columns, and Header Rows and Columns that discuss row 0/ column 0.
