From what I know the only way to get table column information is the TableDefs within Access. You can get information about what the tables are if you have access to the system tables. So to get this information, need to program in VBA.

To find out the data type of each field in an Access table, you can use DAO or ADOX.

VB

Private Sub TableDefDao()

Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = DAO.OpenDatabase("C:\Users\Julien\Documents\Database2.mdb")

Dim t As DAO.TableDef
Dim f As DAO.Field
For Each t In db.TableDefs
Debug.Print t.Name
    For Each f In t.Fields
        Debug.Print vbTab & f.Name & vbTab & f.Type
    Next
Next
End Sub

it's in VB you can convert to c# from followinf site-
