Q: 

DataGrid: How to test if a column exists in a datagrid

I have a datagrid that I want to pass in a generic collection. On mouseover I want to test if the row has a specific column and return the value.

What I am trying to accomplish is to determine the type of objects in the grid based on the existence of a specific column. For example, if "SerialNo" exists I know the grid is currently holding a collection of Widgets. If "CustomerId" exists I know the grid is currently holding customers.

A: 

You can test if the row is of a certain type by casting the object and/or using type reflection on object the row is referencing. What are you trying to accomplish?

I'm not sure what type of information is going to be stored in the grid. I am hoping to keep the grid from knowing what type of information its holding.
