    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 Definitions from Geodatabase
    public async Task ObtainingDefinitionsFromGeodatabase()
    {
        await ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
        {
            using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(new DatabaseConnectionFile(new Uri("path\\to\\sde\\file\\sdefile.sde"))))
            {
                IReadOnlyList<FeatureClassDefinition> enterpriseDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<FeatureClassDefinition>();
                IEnumerable<Definition> featureClassesHavingGlobalID = enterpriseDefinitions.Where(definition => definition.HasGlobalID());
    
                IReadOnlyList<FeatureDatasetDefinition> featureDatasetDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<FeatureDatasetDefinition>();
                bool electionRelatedFeatureDatasets = featureDatasetDefinitions.Any(definition => definition.GetName().Contains("Election"));
    
                IReadOnlyList<AttributedRelationshipClassDefinition> attributedRelationshipClassDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<AttributedRelationshipClassDefinition>();
    
                IReadOnlyList<RelationshipClassDefinition> relationshipClassDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<RelationshipClassDefinition>();
            }
        });
    }
