private void PrintColumns(DataTable table)
{
    // Print the default string of each column in a collection.
    foreach(DataColumn column in table.Columns)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(column.ToString());
    }
}

Private Sub PrintColumns(table As DataTable)
    ' Print the default string of each column in a collection.
    Dim column As DataColumn
    For Each column In table.Columns
       Console.WriteLine(column.ToString())
    Next
End Sub
