mulitcolumn combox column existence detection

for a multicolumn combox, i tried to use the following to test wheather the column named "ActiveStatus" existing or not withion PrepareView event handler,

--> mccb.Model.NameToColIndex("ActiveStatus");

somehow, it give me uncatchable exception error "Invalid Range 'activestatus'" if the datasource (say, datatable) really doesn't have such column. I am expecting just returning me -1, isntead of always get exception at least.

how can i detect the column's existing in the combox? and what do i need to do ? or is there a better way to test if the column exists ?

Hi david,


Could you please let me know which Syncfusion control you are referring?

If you are referring gridListControl, The method this.gridListControl1.Grid.Model.NameToColIndex will return -1, if the specified column name id not existing. Please refer the sample to illustrates this:

I mean Multi-Column Combox control.
Even for the example you gave me, i saw a lot of exceptions happen (see below). I am asking Is there any efficient Name2Index to check column's exisitence? otherwise, it is every expensive by your underlying check exception. thx.
