Enumerating table columns using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo

Dear data spacial lord if there's one listening to my plea,

My code looks like this,

string ConnectionString = "Data Source=AServerName;Initial Catalog=ADBName;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
string TableName = "ATableName";
string SchemaName = "dbo";

Server server = new Server(new ServerConnection(new SqlConnection(ConnectionString)));
SqlConnectionStringBuilder connectionStringBuilder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(ConnectionString);
Database db = new Database(server, connectionStringBuilder.InitialCatalog);
db.Refresh();

Table _table = new Table(db, TableName, SchemaName);
_table.Refresh();

It passed authentication/authorization, but _table.columns.Count is zero, though db.Tables.Count has good value, so I'm wondering how _table can be populated.

Kindly please help, thanks.

Should there be any detail missed or any question, please do feel free to let me know.

Once you hvae the Database, just inspect it's .Tables property:

Database db = new Database(server, connectionStringBuilder.InitialCatalog);
db.Refresh();

foreach(var table in db.Tables)
{
   // do something with each table here...
   string tableName = table.Name;

   foreach(var column in table.Columns)
   {
       // do something with each column for that table
       string columnName = column.Name;
   }
}
