C# To Check if Field Exists in SQL View

So something along the lines like this would work --- (freehand as I am not in front of a PC at the moment with VS installed)

string tta = String.FOrmat("Select whiskeybent from information_schema.columns Where table_name = 'Hellfire'");
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConnectionStringGoesHere);
{
  SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(tta, connection);
  connection.Open();
  SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
  if (reader.HasRows())
  {
    while (reader.Read())
    {
      int count = reader.GetInt32(0);
    }
  }
  else
  {
    int count = 200;
  }
  reader.Close();
  connection.Close();
}
if (count != 200)
{
 //Then this stinking field exists in the view
 //Let's go this way.
}
else
{
 //Let's go this way bc the field does not exist in the view
}
