Ah, but you do ... if the DataRow came from a table to begin with, then it has a table property that tells you what that table was. You can then do this:

string ColumnName;
object ColumnValue;
for (int i=0; i < MyRow.Table.Columns.Count; i++)
{
    ColumnName  = MyRow.Table.Columns[i].ColumnName;
    ColumnValue = MyRow[i];
    // -or- ColumnValue = MyRow[ColumnName]; -- either way --
}
