I don't think there is a direct equivalent. If you're using datasets:

dataset.datatable.Columns is the object array of all defined columns.

you can test a column exists: dataset.datatable[0].Columns.Contains("ColumnName")
you can get type: dataset.datatable[0].Columns["ColumnName"].DataType
you can get col position: dataset.datatable[0].Columns["ColumnName"].Ordinal

etc... so using the above, you could create your own sqlcolumns equivalent...



Is this what you wanted?
