Is there a way to return only the columns in a record that are not null, without listing all the column names?

I have a table with bits, and I want to return only the columns that are set.

Why should you want to change number of columns returned dynamically? What happens if one column has NULL in one row and non null value in other. you should retrieve all columns and then do formatting to show NULL values as some default value at your front end.
