Create(FeatureDatasetDescription,AnnotationFeatureClassDescription) Method
Enqueue the create operation on the object referred to by the
AnnotationFeatureClassDescription. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
Creating an annotation feature class inside feature dataset
public void CreateAnnotationFeatureClassUsingExistingAnnotationFeatureClassInDataset(Geodatabase geodatabase)
{
// 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 =

// 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())
{
IsAutoCreate = true,
IsSymbolIDRequired = false,
IsUpdatedOnShapeChange = true
};
// Add the creation of the Cities annotation feature class inside Places feature dataset
schemaBuilder.Create(new FeatureDatasetDescription(featureDatasetToken), annotationFeatureClassDescription);
// Execute the DDL
bool success = schemaBuilder.Build();
// Inspect error messages
if (!success)
{
IReadOnlyList<string> errorMessages = schemaBuilder.ErrorMessages;
//etc.
}
}
