    Example
    Creating an annotation feature class inside feature dataset
    // Create a Cities annotation feature class inside Places feature dataset using existing annotation feature class 
    
    // Feature dataset name
    string featureDatasetName = "Places";
    
    // Annotation feature class name
    string annotationFeatureClassName = "CitiesAnnotation";
    
    // Create a SchemaBuilder object
    SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder = new SchemaBuilder(geodatabase);
    
    // Open existing annotation feature class name
    using (AnnotationFeatureClass existingAnnotationFeatureClass = geodatabase.OpenDataset<AnnotationFeatureClass>("ExistingAnnotationFeatureClass"))
    {
    
      // Create Feature dataset description
      FeatureDatasetDescription featureDatasetDescription = 
        new FeatureDatasetDescription(featureDatasetName, existingAnnotationFeatureClass.GetDefinition().GetSpatialReference());
    
      // Add the creation of the Places dataset to DDL task
      FeatureDatasetToken featureDatasetToken = schemaBuilder.Create(featureDatasetDescription);
    
      // Create an annotation feature class description using existing annotation feature class
      AnnotationFeatureClassDescription annotationFeatureClassDescription = new AnnotationFeatureClassDescription(annotationFeatureClassName, existingAnnotationFeatureClass.GetDefinition())

      schemaBuilder.Create(new FeatureDatasetDescription(featureDatasetToken), annotationFeatureClassDescription);
