    Creating a Table
    // Create a PoleInspection table with the following fields
    //  GlobalID
    //  ObjectID
    //  InspectionDate (date)
    //  InspectionResults (pre-existing InspectionResults coded value domain)
    //  InspectionNotes (string)
    
    // This static helper routine creates a FieldDescription for a GlobalID field with default values
    FieldDescription globalIDFieldDescription = FieldDescription.CreateGlobalIDField();
    
    // This static helper routine creates a FieldDescription for an ObjectID field with default values
    FieldDescription objectIDFieldDescription = FieldDescription.CreateObjectIDField();
    
    // Create a FieldDescription for the InspectionDate field
    FieldDescription inspectionDateFieldDescription = new FieldDescription("InspectionDate", FieldType.Date)
    {
      AliasName = "Inspection Date"
    };
    
    // This static helper routine creates a FieldDescription for a Domain field (from a pre-existing domain)
    FieldDescription inspectionResultsFieldDescription = FieldDescription.CreateDomainField("InspectionResults", new CodedValueDomainDescription(inspectionResultsDomain));
    inspectionResultsFieldDescription.AliasName = "Inspection Results";
    
    // This static helper routine creates a FieldDescription for a string field
    FieldDescription inspectionNotesFieldDescription = FieldDescription.CreateStringField("InspectionNotes", 512);
    inspectionNotesFieldDescription.AliasName = "Inspection Notes";
    
    // Assemble a list of all of our field descriptions
    List<FieldDescription> fieldDescriptions = new List<FieldDescription>()
      { globalIDFieldDescription, objectIDFieldDescription, inspectionDateFieldDescription, inspectionResultsFieldDescription, inspectionNotesFieldDescription };
    
    // Create a TableDescription object to describe the table to create
    TableDescription tableDescription = new TableDescription("PoleInspection", fieldDescriptions);
    
    // Create a SchemaBuilder object
    SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder = new SchemaBuilder(geodatabase);
    
    // Add the creation of PoleInspection to our list of DDL tasks
    schemaBuilder.Create(tableDescription);
    
    // Execute the DDL
    bool success = schemaBuilder.Build();
    
    // Inspect error messages
    if (!success)
    {
      IReadOnlyList<string> errorMessages = schemaBuilder.ErrorMessages;
      //etc.
    }
