Is there a way to know column index of GridDataItem in GridItemDataBound Event?

[Robin]

Hello, 

I would like to access grid column header from grid item databound event. Purpose is to validate data and display error message together with column header text. Please see following sample code. Is there a way to know column header or column index from GridDataItem?

 protected void gridSample_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                GridDataItem _item = e.Item as GridDataItem;
                if (_item["unique_name"].Text == "something") //condition
                {
                    string l_columnHeader = gridSample.Columns[_item - column - index].HeaderText; //<-- Required column header text

                    DisplayErrorMsg("Error at column:" + l_columnHeader);
                }
            }
        }


Thanks in advanced,
Robin
