You must write XML to create feature datasets, feature classes or tables. Examples are supplied under samples\XMLsamples. The creation of a File Geodatabase does not require XML and is a simple call to geodatabase::creategeodatabase.

Hi ,lshipman

Thank you for your reply.
In my option , create xml schema will slow down coding effective .
for one dataset have many Table and FeatureClass to created,so we must construct difference xml string
for this .

Why doing in this way?
