IndexOf(String) Method

Gets the index of the FieldSortDescription for the specified field.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function IndexOf( _
   ByVal fieldName As String _
) As Integer

C#

public int IndexOf( 
   string fieldName
)

Parameters

fieldName

The associated field

Return Value

The zero-based index or -1 if the field is not found

Remarks

Note: the collection can now contain up to 2 instances of FieldSortDescriptions with the same field (one with its IsGroupBy set to true and the other with its IsGroupBy set to false). This method will return the index of the first instance that matches the field. In the case where there are 2 instances it will always return the index of the one with its IsGroupBy set to true. This is because the collection is sorted such that all 'groupby' FieldSortDescriptions come before all 'non-groupby' ones.
