    Example
    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();
      }
    }
    Public Sub GetFields(ByVal dynamicsConnection As DynamicsConnection
      Dim cmd As DynamicsCommand = New DynamicsCommand("SELECT * FROM contact")
      cmd.Connection = dynamicsConnection
      dynamicsConnection.Open()
      Try
        Dim reader As DynamicsDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
        reader.Read()
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To reader.FieldCount - 1
          Dim fieldType As String = reader.GetDataTypeName(i)
          Dim fieldName As String = reader.GetName(i)
          Console.WriteLine(fieldName & " " & fieldType)
        Next i
        reader.Close()
      Finally
        dynamicsConnection.Close()
      End Try
