Getting Field by name from feature using GDAL?

Question

I have recently started using GDAL in C#, I want to get a value from a field of a feature using the name of that field. In the docs here it says that the operator [char*] is supported, however it's not in the .net package.

Here is my code

 Feature feature = layer.GetNextFeature();
 var field = feature['myField']; // not recognized :(

Is there a way to get a value by field name from the feature ?

Answer 1

As a workaround there are some functions in order to get a typed value by name. In my case I'm using feature.GetFieldAsString("myField")
