    What approach are you using? Is it the MaxLength of the field, or is it a specific records length in the field? Do you already have the table loaded into a dataset?

    If the last question is answered yes you can do something like this using a typed dataset......

    ds.Table.NameColumn.MaxLength, if it is the maxlength you want.

    or

    ds.Table(index).Name.Length, if it is the length of a specific record.

    If this is not tha case, please elaborate.
