Adding Column headers (Dataset/Datagrid)

I have a source excel file which I'm reading into a dataset. This works
just fine, the end user picks which sheet they want and I can access the
data. But I'm trying to integrate a "First Row Contains Column Headings"
element. When it's checked, I have no problems. I just bind and have it
generate the columns automatically.

However, when it's not checked, I'd like it to just add Column0, Column1,
etc. etc. for each column in the sheet. Since it's bound to an actual
datasource (the excel file), when I try to add a header row to the dataset,
the type conversion fails on integer/double/etc. columns.

Adding it that way would have been easiest, but I suppose I'm looking at
manipulating the actual datagrid at this point? If I just add columns, how
am I going to associate them with columns in the datasource explicitly?

Sorry for the weird question(s).

Thanks
