    Public Class TableDefinition 
       Inherits Definition
       Implements System.IDisposable 
    Example
    Obtaining Definition from Geodatabase
    public async Task ObtainingDefinitionFromGeodatabase()
    {
      await ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
        using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(new DatabaseConnectionFile(new Uri("path\\to\\sde\\file\\sdefile.sde"))))
        {
          // Remember that for Enterprise databases you have to qualify your dataset names with the DatabaseName and UserName.
          TableDefinition enterpriseTableDefinition = geodatabase.GetDefinition<TableDefinition>("LocalGovernment.GDB.CitizenContactInfo");
    
          // It does not matter if the dataset is within a FeatureDataset or not.
          FeatureClassDefinition featureClassDefinition = geodatabase.GetDefinition<FeatureClassDefinition>("LocalGovernment.GDB.FireStation");
    
          // GetDefinition For a RelationshipClass.
          RelationshipClassDefinition relationshipClassDefinition = geodatabase.GetDefinition<RelationshipClassDefinition>("LocalGovernment.GDB.AddressPointHasSiteAddresses");
    
          // GetDefinition For a FeatureDataset.
          FeatureDatasetDefinition featureDatasetDefinition = geodatabase.GetDefinition<FeatureDatasetDefinition>("LocalGovernment.GDB.Address");
        }
      });
    }
    Obtaining List of Defintions from Geodatabase

        {
          var enterpriseDefinitions = 
            geodatabase.GetDefinitions<FeatureClassDefinition>();
          IEnumerable<Definition> featureClassesHavingGlobalID = 
            enterpriseDefinitions.Where(definition => definition.HasGlobalID());
    
          var featureDatasetDefinitions = 
            geodatabase.GetDefinitions<FeatureDatasetDefinition>();
          bool electionRelatedFeatureDatasets = 
            featureDatasetDefinitions.Any(
              definition => definition.GetName().Contains("Election"));
    
          var attributedRelationshipClassDefinitions = 
            geodatabase.GetDefinitions<AttributedRelationshipClassDefinition>();
    
          var relationshipClassDefinitions = 
            geodatabase.GetDefinitions<RelationshipClassDefinition>();
        }
      });
    }
