System.Data Namespace Component
The System.Data namespace provides access to classes that represent the ADO.NET architecture. ADO.NET lets you build components that efficiently manage data from multiple data sources.
DataColumnCollection Class
Definition
Namespace:
System.Data
Assemblies:
System.Data.dll, netstandard.dll, System.Data.Common.dll
Represents a collection of DataColumn objects for a DataTable .

Examples
The following example iterates through a collection of DataColumn objects and prints various properties of each column in the collection.
C#
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);
}
}
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.
Properties
Methods
Events

Occurs when the columns collection changes, either by adding or removing a column.
