As you've discovered, dot notation for anything other than Binding is problematic with WPF. What I'd recommend is to revise your headers to alias the column names with dot notation:

Col.A should be Col_A
Col.B should be Col_B
etc...

If the headers are coming from a direct SQL query, alias the sql column names in the same manner.

Going down the path of using the dot notation will just continue leading into one hackish fix to resolve the previous 'fix'. All of this can be easily resolved by just revising your naming conventions.
