passing datatype as a function argument

I need to write a function that will accept a dataset as a parameter and create a 2D array of integer/float/long/whatever numeric type of data in the dataset, and then populate the 2D array using the data in the datatable.

How can I determine the type of data contained in the dataset/datatable in the function. Alternatively, can I pass the datatype that a particular dataset might have. How would I do that in VB.NET

Would appreciate any help, and thanks in advance.
