How to get the DataType and Size of a column using the SqlDataReader?

Question

i am trying to get the data type of each column given to do some verification i already tried the getSchemaTable but it only gives me the schema of a table without values.

For example , i have a table in my database and a columnname : id_declarant. I want to retrieve the datatype and Size of a value from id_declarant.

Here is The code :

comm.Connection=new SqlConnection(connectionString);
String sql = @"
            SELECT * 
            FROM id_declarant,declarant
            WHERE (declarant.Nom_pren_RS='" + textBox1.Text + "') 
            and   (id_declarant.mat_fisc=declarant.mat_fisc)  "; 
comm.CommandText = sql;
comm.Connection.Open();
string mat_fisc;
string clé_mat_fisc;
string categorie ;
string num_etab_sec ;
string activite;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String Nom = textBox1.Text;
using (SqlDataReader reader = comm.ExecuteReader())
{
    while (reader.Read())
    {
        //here i want to know how to retrieve the reader[0].Type and Size to do the verification 
         mat_fisc = reader[0].ToString();
         clé_mat_fisc = reader["clé_mat_fisc"].ToString();
         categorie = reader["categorie"].ToString();
         num_etab_sec = reader["num_etab_sec"].ToString();
         activite = reader["activite"].ToString();
         sb.Append("EF" + mat_fisc + clé_mat_fisc + categorie + num_etab_sec + textBox2.Text + textBox3.Text + Nom + activite);

Type type = reader.GetFieldType(0);
