    Example
    Opening an Enterprise Geodatabase using connection properties
    public async Task OpenEnterpriseGeodatabase()
    {
      await ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
        // Opening a Non-Versioned SQL Server instance.
        DatabaseConnectionProperties connectionProperties = new DatabaseConnectionProperties(EnterpriseDatabaseType.SQLServer)
        {
          AuthenticationMode = AuthenticationMode.DBMS,
    
          // Where testMachine is the machine where the instance is running and testInstance is the name of the SqlServer instance.
          Instance = @"testMachine\testInstance",
    
          // Provided that a database called LocalGovernment has been created on the testInstance and geodatabase has been enabled on the database.
          Database = "LocalGovernment",
    
          // Provided that a login called gdb has been created and corresponding schema has been created with the required permissions.
          User = "gdb",
          Password = "password",
          Version = "dbo.DEFAULT"
        };
    
        using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(connectionProperties))
        {
          // Use the geodatabase
        }
      });
    }
    
    Create Default QueryDescription for a Database table and obtain the ArcGIS.Core.Data.Table for the QueryDescription
    public async Task DefaultQueryDescription()
    {
      await ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
        DatabaseConnectionProperties databaseConnectionProperties = new DatabaseConnectionProperties(EnterpriseDatabaseType.SQLServer)
        {
          AuthenticationMode = AuthenticationMode.DBMS,
          Instance = "instance",
          Database = "database",
          User = "user",
          Password = "password"
        };
    
        using (Database database = new Database(databaseConnectionProperties))
        {
          QueryDescription queryDescription = database.GetQueryDescription("CUSTOMERS");
    
          using (Table table = database.OpenTable(queryDescription))
          {
            //use table
          }
        }
      });
    }
