GetDomain Method
Example 

ArcGIS.Core.Data Namespace > Field Class : GetDomain Method
The specific Subtype for the field's domain. This argument is optional. If unset or set to null, the field's domain at the table level is returned.
Gets the field's Domain at the table level if subtype is not set. Otherwise, gets the field's domain for the specific subtype. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
Syntax
public Domain GetDomain( 
   Subtype subtype
)
Public Function GetDomain( _
   Optional ByVal subtype As Subtype _
) As Domain

Parameters

subtype
The specific Subtype for the field's domain. This argument is optional. If unset or set to null, the field's domain at the table level is returned.

Return Value

The associated domain if one is assigned; otherwise, null is returned.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.
