One of the approaches is as follows:
a) Add the dataset and design the RDLC report with all required columns
b) Add one report boolean parameter per dynamic column
c) Right click on column in rdlc design mode and select Column Visibility
- Select "Show or Hide based on an expression" and select the report parameter
d) In code behind, use ReportViewer.LocaReport.SetParameters method to set the boolean parameter values, "true" to hide and "false" to show.

See if this helps.
