Well, DataColumn.DefaultValue would seem an obvious starting point, but
it really depends on what your context is.

You need to give more context. How are you getting the table? Is it
coming from the database, or are you creating it manually? If it's from
the database, does that not specify the default itself, if you tell the
adapter to fetch the schema?

Anyway, once you've got the table I'd imagine you can just fetch the
column and set the default at that point.
