How do you do your request at the database? Via queries or stored procedures or linq?

If your DataSource is really a Table, you can get its name like
((DataTable)dgrid.DataSource).TableName

Note that the DataSource doesn't have to be a table, it can be a DataSet for example (in this case dgrid.DataMember should give you the table name), or any other supported object... so wrap your test into a try-catch block.
