OBOUT - ASP.NET Grid - Get Column Index In Template

ASP.NET Grid - Knowledge Base

Question:

Is there a way to get column index in template (similar to Container.RecordIndex just for column)?
I want to be able to use same template for multiple columns.

Solution:

Yes, this is possible using some tricks (there's no quick
and simple solution at this moment)

You need to call a method inside the template, which will return the
index of the column, based on its value.

ASP.NET:
<Template>
    <span class="cC" onclick="D(this)"
         id="<%#Container.RecordIndex%><%# Container.ColumnIndex%>">
        <%#Container.Value%>
    </span>
    ....
</Template>

Click on the text in any cell to see the Record Index and Column Index of this cell.
