Changes in SQL2005 syscolumns table

It seems MS changed the way syscolumns table works. It appears this is no longer a table, but probably a systemview. Problem is, it looks like the autoval column is no longer working. I was using this to determine whether a column was an auto incrementing identity field. How should I go about determining a column's auto increment values?

Thanx,Since there is only one autoincrement column per table, you can use SELECT

IDENT_CURRENT('table_name')

using IsIdentity
