SQL Server - how to get data type from table schema through c# code?

Hi --

I have a TableSchema object in my C# code which is pointing to  a table in sqlserver 2005.

I can access the Columns Property of the schema object, and get the name of the column, but now I want to get the data type of the object. (drilled down to the point so that if I get a varchar, i can know that it is a varchar (250) vs varchar(35)....

I am using the SourceTable. Column.DataType, but that is giving me C# datatypes, and I would like to have the SqlServer datatypes.

Okay, an update is that SourceTable.Columns[i].NativeType gives me the native type. Now I just need to find the drilled down part, where I can know what the lenth is of the datatype where that is applicable.

Thank you.

    if (i != SourceTable.Columns.Count - 1)
    {
             strOutput += @"@" + SourceTable.Columns[i].Name + " ";
                strOutput += SourceTable.Columns[i].DataType + "(";

   con.Close();
 }
}
