Is there any API to retrieve SqlMetada from a table

[xaviergxf]

I'm trying to implement a table value parameter command based on an existing tableA using SqlDataRecord instead of DataTable like this:

        var tableVarParam = sqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("tvp", sqlDataRecords);
        tableVarParam.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Structured;
        tableVarParam.TypeName = "dbo.tvp";

To create SqlDataRecords i need a collection of SqlMetadata

Is there any API available to retrieve the SqlMetadata[] from an existing table?

If the idea is to move from DataTable's to SqlRecords as API's shouldn't it exist?
