    TFields.FieldByName

    Find a field based on its name.

    Declaration

    Source position: db.pas line 1364

    public 
function TFields.FieldByName(const Value: string) : TField;

    Description

    Fieldbyname searches the list of fields and returns the field instance whose FieldName property matches Value. The search is performed case-insensitively.

    Errors

    If no field instance is found, then an exception is raised. If this behaviour is undesired, use TField.FindField, where Nil is returned if no match is found.
