  Hi Deep,

  You can get the attribute type by checking

  if (Attr.Value is OptionSetValue)
  {
  }

  You need to use the metadata services

                      RetrieveAttributeRequest retrieveAttributeRequest =
                          new RetrieveAttributeRequest
                      {
                          EntityLogicalName = Contact.EntityLogicalName,
                          LogicalName = "new_picklist",
                          RetrieveAsIfPublished = true
                      };
  
                      // Execute the request.
                      RetrieveAttributeResponse retrieveAttributeResponse =
                          (RetrieveAttributeResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(
                          retrieveAttributeRequest);
  
                      // Access the retrieved attribute.
                      PicklistAttributeMetadata retrievedPicklistAttributeMetadata =
                          (PicklistAttributeMetadata)
                          retrieveAttributeResponse.AttributeMetadata;
  
                      // Get the current options list for the retrieved attribute.
                      OptionMetadata[] optionList =
                          retrievedPicklistAttributeMetadata.OptionSet.Options.ToArray();
