Hi all!

What is the best way to hold some kind of "invariant" reference to access
grid columns (any grid, not only MS grids)?

Currently I use structs, like that:
struct ColLayers{
public string Col1;
public string Col2;
public string Col3;

public Init()
{
Col1="MyName1";
Col2="MyName2";
Col3="MyName3";
}
}

later in code I do

ColLayer C=new ColLayers();
C.Init();

so I can refer to grid like this (see the intellisense)

grid.Row[0].Column[C.Col1].Value="xx";
grid.Row[0].Column[C.Col2].Value="yy";
.....

is there some shorter/smarter way to do that in C#?

I presume enums are not the option since
they require .ToString() casting.

This seems to be overly complicated. Why do you even need an object
there - why not static fields? For that matter, why not just const
fields?
