Obtain column type

[Fabio D'Andria]

Hello everybody,

I am struggling to find a way to get the column type in a row. I mean, I have my MySqlDataReader object with all my records. I would like to know (because I am in a generic display routine so I need to know if I should use GetString or GetByte or GetInt .... ) how to get the column type.
I am using mono on mac/linux. I found on some website to use the System.Data.DataTable but when I use it I have the following error:

ERROR: Method not found: 'System.Data.DataTable.Load'.

So I am just a bit clueless, hope someone can help

thanks
