GetDefinition Method (Topology)
Example 

ArcGIS.Core.Data.Topology Namespace > Topology Class : GetDefinition Method
Gets the TopologyDefinition of this dataset. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
Syntax
public new TopologyDefinition GetDefinition()
Public Shadows Function GetDefinition() As TopologyDefinition

Return Value

The TopologyDefinition of this dataset.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
This dataset does not have a valid definition.
A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.
Example
public void OpenTopologyAndProcessDefinition()
{
  // Open a geodatabase topology from a file geodatabase and process the topology definition.

  using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(new FileGeodatabaseConnectionPath(new Uri(@"C:\TestData\GrandTeton.gdb"))))
