  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)
