This sample shows how to retrieve names and types of all columns in a table.
public void GetFields(DynamicsConnection dynamicsConnection)
{
DynamicsCommand cmd = new DynamicsCommand("SELECT * FROM contact");
cmd.Connection = dynamicsConnection;
dynamicsConnection.Open();
try
{
DynamicsDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
reader.Read();
for (int i=0;i < reader.FieldCount;i++)
{
string fieldType = reader.GetDataTypeName(i);
string fieldName = reader.GetName(i);
string fieldType2 = reader.GetFieldType(i).FullName;
Console.WriteLine(fieldName+"\t"+ fieldType+"\t"+ fieldType2);
}
reader.Close();
}
finally
{
dynamicsConnection.Close();
}
}
