EDITED FOR SPECIFIC EXAMPLE:

theSqlConnection.Open();

SqlDataReader reader = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader();
DataTable schemaTable = reader.GetSchemaTable();

foreach (DataRow row in schemaTable.Rows)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb);

    using (JsonWriter jsonWriter = new JsonTextWriter(sw)) 
    {    
        jsonWriter.WriteStartObject();

        foreach (DataColumn column in schemaTable.Columns)
        {
            jsonWriter.WritePropertyName(column.ColumnName);
            jsonWriter.WriteValue(row[column]);
        }

        jsonWriter.WriteEndObject();
    }
}

theSqlConnection.Close();
