Examples

The following example iterates through a collection of DataColumn objects and prints various properties of each column in the collection.

private void PrintDataTableColumnInfo(DataTable table)
{
    // Use a DataTable object's DataColumnCollection.
    DataColumnCollection columns = table.Columns;

    // Print the ColumnName and DataType for each column.
    foreach(DataColumn column in columns)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(column.ColumnName);
        Console.WriteLine(column.DataType);
    }
}
Private Sub PrintDataTableColumnInfo(table As DataTable)
    
    ' Use a DataTable object's DataColumnCollection.
    Dim columns As DataColumnCollection = table.Columns

    ' Print the ColumnName and DataType for each column.
    Dim column As DataColumn
    For Each column in columns
       Console.WriteLine(column.ColumnName)
       Console.WriteLine(column.DataType.ToString)
    Next
End Sub

Remarks

The DataColumnCollection defines the schema of a DataTable, and determines what kind of data each DataColumn can contain. You can access the DataColumnCollection through the Columns property of the DataTable object.

The DataColumnCollection uses the Add and Remove methods to insert and delete DataColumn objects. Use the Count property to determine how many DataColumn objects are in the collection. Use the Contains method to verify whether a specified index or column name exists in the collection.
